On the biology stack I comparatively recently started performing basic reviews, the last two days (this being the third) the first-post review queue has contained a notification red-blob, and during this time I've done a couple of reviews. Mostly though, the red-blob has signified nothing at all, no reviews.

Nothing abnormal about that, review-notifications have always been laggy and misleading, as there may be reviews being undertaken by other users which prevents yours but not the red-blob from appearing - described as intended but not optimal in that meta post.

But for three days continually? (On a fairly quiet site without that many reviews going-on anyhow. If a user walks away from their computer half-way through a review, would that cause this?) Anyone seen this elsewhere?

Expected behaviour:

They should be erratic and show occasional presence of reviews which aren't there, then disappear within a few minutes until next time. There should also be occasional reviews.

    Re: Anyone seen this elsewhere? I'm a fairly active reviewer on LawSE, and my blob doesn't hang around for long - I've not timed it but I'd say no more than an hour at the most, and definitely not three days!

    It's business as usual on the other sites I review on too, just biology showing itself up. @Rick

    It will likely be lit all the time, with 50+ in the queues. One request for no false alarms is more than a few years old, with a newer one June 2018; the newest being the one in your question. --- There's no "duplicate", because it's fair to re-ask.

  • Oh, wait, you're talking about the red blob of a specific queue?

  • Don't believe that I forgot to mention it, the first questions queue I mean. I had a bad picture, discarded it, forgot to snap another. @Joachim

    ARogueAnt, need images?, The Data Science queue correctly shows a red dot, but the Video Production queue has no red dot even though no one has done a review today. --- Be certain that your question applies to more than one site (it does) or it can be closed and migrated to your meta; we only accept multi-site bug reports and feature requests.
