If I want to host a game with my new map, how do I go about having other people download it on join-in? Where do I host it/put it?

start a dedicated server or even a regular server...make sure your ports are open (23073/23083 UDP/TCP). People should be able to download the map automatically.

This is a common problem but I still dont have the slightest idea as to the solution.

ssams, I think BigCheezit means the "Register in lobby server" box in the options tab.

And I have that problem too when I want my friends to check out my maps, a little annoying >:(

just to make sure, you did open the ports, right?

I will soon move this to the server help forum, since that is what it is turning into.

Koon: that is what we call spam.

Try rejoining a few times. Make sure your router has the ports open and that your ISP doesent block them.
