Why do they make it so difficult, ie using third party hosting sites etc. Why can’t it be easy like putting pictures on fb etc?

I don't know how this site is hosted but space costs money, as does bandwidth. Some hosting services charge in and out.

If you start letting anyone upload stuff to your site it can quickly get out of control.

Not sure who you mean when you say "they" but I haven't posted a single pic' since Photobucket stopped us, probably through laziness but I just tried on "Show us your S Type" using Norrie Bodge's link above and I can't believe how easy it was. Try it you may be surprised.
