The Red/Blue boxes to highlight pending changes are only of use to users with "accept changes" permissions.

For less privileged users, they provide no real benefit, and are especially confusing to new users.

Therefore the pending changes should only be shown to users with "accept changes" permission. All other users should just see the latest view of the data.

    Here's an example of the confusion it causes. I received this email from a user this morning:

    <<I tried to edit their names on the website but all it did was to add AKA's. Can you sort it out for me please?>>
