Closing the "1 new transaction" alert within the Wallet makes it very difficult to see new transactions later on

I noticed in one of @SamPatt user testing videos that the user closed the “1 new transaction” alert, and then later didn’t know how to see his new transactions.

This leads to a UX issue: it’s very difficult to see new transactions after the alert is closed. I believe the only way to see them is by waiting for another transaction to come through, and then clicking refresh on the alert.

Here’s 2 solutions on how we could fix this issue:

1. Remove the close action on the new transaction alert. The alert will purposely annoy users until they click refresh.

2. Keep the new transaction alert exactly as it is (with the close button), but each time the Wallet is opened, automatically pull in new transactions.

I’m thinking 1 would be easier.

Thoughts?

Yeah let’s see… So the point of the pop in messages is to encourage people to refresh when new content comes in. Not having the ability to close may annoy some people, but again, we’re trying to encourage people to look at the freshest data.

Having the close action in place may also lead to people automatically dismissing them before reading too.

I’d be cool with ditching the close action on all of them.

ok, well getting rid of that ‘X’ is a few minute fix, so let’s go with that for now.

@morebrownies Do you want it applied to all pop in messages or just the wallet. The only reason I’m slightly hesitant on all is because some pages have multiple pop-in messages which stack up vertically on each other. It may get annoying for the user… then again that would probably be a bigger incentive to refresh. <-- I dunno, let me know.
