We have created some pinterest accounts but we have found what I think is a flaw.
When you go to a wall to see all the images, and you click on the image to view it full size with the content, it forces you to login or sign up. so you cannot just view it.

Is this a permanently thing, and aggressive way that pinterest gathers more people on it, or can ths be disabled so that any body can go to view our "pins" without being forced to sign up??

Nope, that's intended behaviour. That's Pinterest-wide and has nothing to do with your pins.

Wow. It is what it is it then.
Seems like a bad way to try and invite people in and join it - Join or see nothing. Rather aggressive.
Oh well. Thanks.

I agree, though it's somewhat like Facebook; everyone who is going to join already has.

Sure - but with Facebook you have to be signed in to do anything whatsoever.
with Pin.... you get shown a small image, but to view th content like you do with Twitter, you have to though create an account.
Not good whne companies what to use Pin to promote images
