This is weird? 

EDIT: emptying the cache in my browser cleared the red alert and #1 indicating that there was a topic to approve. But that's the first time I see this behavior, the alert normally clears  automatically when I approve the topic.

I've created a ticket on this so we can get it sorted for you

Next time you see an errant approval flag, leave it and see if it clears itself.

We made a lot of changes to how counts and node last info is built to reduce MySQL load. To safeguard against any random issues, there is a task that runs every 5 minutes or so to tidy up any potential issues.

We'll look into the core issue of course, but you may find it fixes itself in a few minutes.

Ok @Matt I'll try that. I guess I'm used to this workflow: 

1. I see a number of unapproved topics and/or posts,
2. I approve one or two,
3. I go back to the home page and if I still see some, I click them to approve them.

... and I know I'm done once I no longer see any approval flags on my home page. 

But yes if this reoccurs I'll try to just wait 5mn.

That's how it should continue to function, so we can look at that. But it should fix itself in a few minutes until we get a fix out.

Ok sounds great then! Thanks again. 🙂 

I'm having this issue again right now.

This has fixed itself as Matt mentioned above 😉

Indeed it has. So there's no need for me to continue reporting those I suppose?

Correct. Until we release a fix for the issue overall that you're experiencing.

Great, that makes sense. Thank you!

This appears to be fixed in v4.7.19. Yoohoo! 🙂
