Speling fix.

Green would (to me at least) imply "something to do but not Sev0 Important", while red implies a request for immediate attention. An alternative to a "pip" overlay would be simply colorizing the entire icon. | |

| Dec 15, 2017 at 22:52 | comment | added | DopeGhoti | How about a green pip on the icon when there are a few things in the hopper, and a red one when a queue happens to get so long as to be considered troublingly so? | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 17:46 | comment | added | jasonwryan | @terdon I think it is precisely because our queues are generally manageable that the change is unwelcome. I have gone from feeling like contributing is manageable within micro slots across the day to, "OMG: do it NOW!" :) | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 17:45 | comment | added | Jon Ericson StaffMod | In the default system, thresholds are dynamic. I've been adjusting them based on a few rules every week or so. Thanks for the feedback. We'll probably let this run for a week or two before reverting to the previous system. We're still trying things out. ;-) | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 15:58 | comment | added | Jeff Schaller Mod | As a regular reviewer, I'm with Jason: don't cry wolf. A single "first posts" review queue item is not worth a red alert. I've only seen one reviewing emergency in my few years here -- the result of a developer "oops", not a lack of reviewing. | |
| Dec 15, 2017 at 11:35 | comment | added | terdon Mod | Really? I found it had the opposite effect on me. Since our queues are rarely long (thanks to the efforts of people like yourself), the new UI made me ignore them because it never looked like there was anything to do. Now I immediately notice when there are pending items in the queue. | |
