To the best of my knowledge all images submitted by those that do not have image processing permissions goes to the queue. You don't have to be L8 to approve images in the queue...just have image processing permissions. I had that long before being an L8. That being said at that time the only one who could approve any images in the queue was ADMIN. The use approval thing is only about a year old.

Do L8s get access to the replacement images of those that can't process their own images, or is that Admin only? I don't think the images go into the usual cropping queue.
If you're on a computer, try Ctrl+F5 to see if the images refresh at all. It'll usually say "Updated by: " below the images when the images have been updated.
