It must be you computer. Try refreshing the page when it doesn't show the big pictures.

Alternately, you could use the previously published All Steps fix.

If you also happen to dislike K nex instructables, you can use the KnexBlocker with integrated AllSteps fix.

That's cool. I didn't know someone already made that. This was just for when you're on instructables and you don't want to waste time logging in or viewing each step separately - you could just hit a few keys and save a lot of time. I guess you could still use this if you're not at home (and don't have a portable firefox with your extensions) or if you're using IE (which sucks; I don't know why anyone uses it).

This is a bug on the site and should be fixed.

Looks to me like they actively added it as a feature. I'd wait a month or so and see if login numbers increase :p In any case, logging in gets rid of some ads (at least it used to) - much more annoying than the 3-5 seconds to log in :)

umm, ok. I never had to be logged on in the past to view all steps...

Looks like you haven't been logged out recently then ;)

I didn't think you needed to be logged in either. Kewl kids don't log out.

I think it falls under "feature" instead of "bug". Trying to get more people to join the site, instead of just surfing. Better chance of people posting their own stuff, if members. Also, better revenue, if they can point to ever increasing member enrollment.
