2nd attempt at commenting. I swear I clicked reply, but my comment didn't appear.

I'm a former anon user who was also experiencing issues viewing images on the site. I didn't think much of it until I was on a page and tried to view a video, only for the page to reload and not show the video at all. It's only until I googled it that I learned that you now need to have an account to view things in the gallery, so I made one. At the very least, it would have been nice to have a banner or something that notifies anons that you now need an account to view the gallery and that the page reloading isn't just a weird glitch. I'm not tech savvy either, so I don't know the tricks to bypass the page reload when viewing the gallery on anon.

It's yet another account that I have to manage and remember the password of. I don't plan on editing or joining groups or whatever it is that wikis do as a community, so I don't really want an account. It's a bit of a hassle to have to log in per device just so that I could view an image or watch a video in the gallery.
