I just saw that this thread was closed for whatever reason and I'd like to know when the system will be fixed?

I posted this in January and it's now April and I'm still getting the same error on post I'm trying to "like" here at vbulletin.org. :(

I was going to post in my old thread before I saw it was locked, that I'm still getting this notice as I posted in this thread.

There is no reason why I shouldn't be able to like that persons post is there?

If the system doesn't work correctly, why have it in place at all? :down:

This is the only example I've seen of anyone pointing out where it doesn't work, so I suppose the answer would be that the system is in place for the times that it does work, which seems to be almost all other times.

I just liked perhaps 10 different posts in the course of the past 24 hours. Seems unfortunate that a system incapable of functioning differently then how it is coded decides to discriminate against you. ;)

Sorry to disappoint, but I've had the same exact issue as Brandon on more than a couple handfuls of threads/posts. Same error: Sorry, you are not allowed to 'Like' this post.

Perhaps there's a cutoff date on the posts you're allowed to like? IDK - but it is rather annoying...

There is a limit which I believe we have specified before. It is currently set to 180 in an open thread.

thx for confirming again

Paul said in this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2291579&postcount=3) that it isn't applied to modification.. which I had tried to like a post on?

It's not supposed to work because it's over 6 months old.

When Paul said you can like Modifications beyond the 180 days he means JUST the first post in the modification, not all posts in a modification thread.

ah I see

and why the time limit?
does staff feel a post over 6 months doesn't merit a "like"
should a 6 month old post even be allowed to be replied to?

Also.. I understood the term "modification" as everything in these forums.

Thanks

I guess I'll just stop trying to use it if it's not going to be intuitive, why use it?? ;)
There is no reason at all to limit the amount of time that we can "like a post"...lol

typical vbulletin logic..haha

Your choice.

Closed as nothing is actually wrong here.
