Ask HN: Unflag a Post Gone

[Ms-J]

My account used to have the ability to unflag posts up until recently. When reading an individual's comment that was flagged, I looked for the unflag button and it wasn't there.

My account is a few years old and I believe has sufficient points.

Another post from someone with the same issue that was found in the search:

I've tried doing a web search and there wasn't much on this issue. Hope someone else can give a clear answer as I think it would be helpful for others as well.

Mentioning the admin dang by keyword might help? Thanks if you see this.

The "vouch" button only appears in "[dead]" comments. Take a look at the unoficial FAQ by minimaxir https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented?tab=re...

@dang does nothing, but you can write to [e-mail]

Thanks for linking I did read that but my thought was I had the option to specifically unflag a post that was flagged by a different user. Maybe it was only the way you were describing but from the link I had provided it seems the other user thought the same way as I did initially.

because someone else flagged it, not (just) you

Maybe I am not understanding your comment but I did not flag anything.

When someone flagged a comment I used to have the option to unflag. The same that is described in the link in the topic post.
