How can you view Wiki Answers without slides and why are they using slides?

Answer 1

You can sign up and become a member of Answers! It's 100% free and very easy. You simply sign in through your Facebook account. Once you are a member, you will have a variety of tools and options, including viewing the site without the slideshow format, browsing without ads, editing questions and answers, and joining our community activities.

The main reason this is done is becase someone high-up in the web design here doesn't have the mental capacity to realize that the format they use makes the site ugly, difficult to use and consequently, causes people to use it ONLY as a last resort, the poor idiot.
