I see this message on my page "You have 1 player in 'Pending' state awaiting approval, click here to activate them."

when I click on the link the list of pending players is blank.

when I look at the full list of player status I see one clone that is in the pending state and the rest of the players on that account (including the main) are still in the invited state.

This is likely what is happening. The parent player is still in the 'Invited' state, but he's joined the league with one of his clones, which is totally legal. You might want to email him to remind him to join with his parent if indeed that's his intent. In the meantime I've filed a bug to fix the filter to not exclude showing the clone just because the parent isn't active.

OK, here's the scoop. This bug has existed since clones were introduced a few years ago. Right now the player isn't allowed to use clones unless the parent player is active, and they are warned about it. You might want to contact the person in question and tell them they have to re-join with their main "parent" player first. 

To allow clones to be used with an inactive parent will take some work, and I'm not sure right now its worth allowing it. I'll need some time to think about this one. If you have any thoughts on this let me know.

take a look at player "Chipper" in my game, he is active, his clones are in the "pending" state but when I filter on players waiting for approvals the clones are not showing up in the filtered view.

Will do. This is likely related to the same issue in the topic title. Its a lower priority right now but will be fixed, maybe this weekend. As you might imagine today is the busiest year for the pool. :)

OK understand, I'm going to activate these clones in case they want to play tonight's game.
