Flickr signup no longer for mortals?

What have you done with flickr signup? It's horrible! I signed up back in the days when flickr was flickr, but I'm in a position now to pick a picture sharing service to make standard inside my organization, and came in that process to notice what you have done to the sign-up sequence. I can't tell people to sign up for this... People are here to share pictures, not to apply for a security clearance... A multi-step, pages-long, (and strictly unneccessary) sign-up sequence will shun off 90% of them...

I would love to be able to recommend Flickr, but instead I'm off to find alternatives.

Will you please please please make it possible for mortals to use this service again?



Thanks.
