The BB button is supposed to show pending BB submissions right?

If that's the case it is not working as intended. It does not show the two pending submissions I have.

The BB button shows me other people's submissions that I am able to approve. I think, as you have BB10, you'll be able to approve others when they submit for their badge.

Oh really?

Interesting. I had no idea I was able to approve submissions... I'll check it more often.

It will have a very obvious notification "bell" next to it if there are submissions that you can review in there. I've only caught a couple - I think some of the Permies users are very quick!

The way it's supposed to work (I think) is that if you have a sand badge in an aspect, and you've done a particular BB, you can approve other folks for that same BB.  

So by definition you'd never see your own BB in the log of BBs to be certified.

L. Johnson, are these the BB Bits you referred to:

https://permies.com/wiki/35/108852/pep-nest/PEP-BB-nest-sand-kitchen#1308390

https://permies.com/wiki/20/110226/pep-nest/Rags-Clothes-PEP-BB-nest#1309491

The best way to get someone's attention to approve a BB item is to use the "Report" button.

I'm thinking that now that we have the spiffy BB button, we might not need to report BB submissions like we need to. Before the BB button, there wasn't really any easy way to find what needed to be approved. So, unless you were checking the threads or getting email notifications on them, you didn't know there were things to approve. Now we have the BB button!

I made a tutorial for using the BB button here: New BB notification button!

To find a list of all your BBs that you've done and that are certified/pending/rejected, you can go to your Merit Badge Profile that's in your profile.

I hope that helps!

Sorry for my confusion! I understand now.

Thanks for all of the clarifications.
