Were you trying to flag the post within the “editing grace period” in /admin/site\_settings/category/posting?

I’m not sure of how it is actually coded, but from a design standpoint it makes sense to me that mails don’t go out, edits aren’t saved as revisions, and flags are disabled until that grace period has expired… otherwise it isn’t much of a grace period.
