I don't always miss a question on a quiz, but when I do, it's the last one and *6 PTS! KEEP GOING* occludes the answer..

There doesn't seem to be any obvious way to close those 30 POINTS! HERE'S A BADGE, BUDDY! WE LOVE YOU! pop-ups without pressing Keep Going. Making it difficult to see the explanation on a missed question (when it's the last one). Ya hear me?

Ya hear me?

Yes, loud and clear.

I believe that Treehouse is doing it this way to gamify the whole experience of working on a code challenge; this does remind me a bit of the days when I was playing Super Mario Bros in NES -- at the end of every stage, you get this kind of message You've defeated the boss, and earned XXX pts, + 1 LP, now onto the next stage, sth like that.

But I like your suggestion, perhaps Treehouse can implement this feature in a less obtrusive way that doesn't force you to click the button to navigate to the next stage; sometimes I do feel the need to review the written code before proceeding.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I get the gamification aspect.

Anyway, random inconveniences like that are pretty easy to overlook. Like the HTML/CSS videos give you 0.0003 seconds to finish typing before they flash to the example. Honestly, I find very few problems though.
