Repro:

- Get notified of a pending member
- visit the admin page at /admin/users/list/pending
- click the checkbox next to the new person
- click Approve at the bottom of the screen
- dismiss the congratulatory dialog box
- View that the user is still listed.
- Expected: that the account is no longer visible
- refresh the page and the user will no longer be listed (as the approval was carried out successfully)

Bonus points for providing a link to /admin/users/list/new so the new user(s) can be reviewed

I am unable to repro this issue on my dev env.

This is not happening for me. The user disappears as soon as I approve him.

I just had someone register on my site and can confirm that approving them worked well this time. Thanks for checking this out. If I see it again, I’d be happy to know what health point to check on my server (or browser?) before opening a ticket.
