<p>I've submitted <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/230833/246931">my own feature request regarding this notification</a>. Its functionality was changed recently to display the number of flags available for review to the community as a whole for users who have unlocked the moderation tools privilege (see <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/a/230726/246931">Anna Lear's answer</a> to "<a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/191638/246931">Notify users of possible reviews on toolbar</a>"). This does not exclude flags you've already reviewed, as <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/191638/notify-users-of-possible-reviews-on-toolbar?lq=1#comment758002_230726">Shog9 says</a> that degree of personalization would be too expensive for the developers. For those of us without moderation tools unlocked, the old suggested edits notification works like it used to. I've requested that this old notification continue to take priority over the new notification, or that the new notification respond somehow to our clicks or to changes in the number of active flags. I would appreciate any support or feedback that the CV community can offer me on this. That feature request once again is: "<a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/230833/246931">Modulate the review notification's color to reflect changes, or make it dismissible</a>".</p>

<p>Note that snailplane's feature request "<a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/230874/246931">Bring back the suggested edits notifications to the top bar . . . again</a>" has been marked <a href="/questions/tagged/status-completed" class="post-tag moderator-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;status-completed&#39;" rel="tag">status-completed</a>, so further fulfillment of the true intent of that request is not likely forthcoming (unless, hopefully, the old notification can take priority over the new notification without deactivating it, as I've requested). As I implied in <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/230874/bring-back-the-suggested-edits-notifications-to-the-top-bar-again#comment758460_230874">my comment</a>, that was probably a foregone conclusion of that feature request. The new notification functionality <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/191638/notify-users-of-possible-reviews-on-toolbar?lq=1#comment757998_230726">is favored because it seems to help clear review queues for the community as a whole</a>. As I've <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/191638/notify-users-of-possible-reviews-on-toolbar?lq=1#comment758002_230726">quoted Shog9</a> in my feature request, it is supposed to compel us to encourage each other to review after we've done as much as we can personally. IMO, it's presently too confusing to lead naturally to that, and it should have its design modified somehow to disambiguate it from the suggested edits notifications that old users are accustomed to, and that new users will see until they unlock the moderation tools privilege, which <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/help/privileges/moderator-tools">does not yet mention the change in notification functionality that comes with the privilege</a>.</p>
