fb is where i post all my picts from hiking fishing hunting so all my friends and family can see them in one shot to many forums like this one make it to involved to post picts having to go through a hosting site some are easy to post to i do post on them such as hvs there is no reason to make it so hard
Actually, there is a reason.
It requires significantly more server space and capacity.
Scott, the guy who owns and runs MFF and IS, pays a certain amount of money for what we get here.
The advertising reimburses him...........and he makes some money doing it.
In order to post the pictures directly here, instead of thru Photobucket or another site, he would need to pay for a LOT more capacity.
He could charge the membership a small fee to do this but how many members would do this?
MFF and his other sites wouldn't get the traffic (hits) and then his sponsorship and advertising dollars would shrink.
Kind of catch 22 scenario.
Sites like FB are huge.
Thousands of times larger than these smaller sites.
So they easily get money required to run them through sponsors and advertising.
They even have people on staff working for the site selling advertising space.
Big business.
Hope this helps you to understand the situation.
You still don't need to like it, but at least now you know why.
