Thanks, now I realize why the desktop backgrounder program hasn’t updated for today. I was worried that our help desk changed a setting and botched my APOD desktop.
This post may have saved my life...

re: embedding video is that it consumes large amounts of bandwidth, so I’m just posting a link

Actually when it comes to FR resources there is no posting of any graphic ‘here’. The only way to make a graphic available is to provide a link to the resource. The amount of storage and bandwidth to provide a resource is the same for FR regardless of where the resource is located.

Once a link has been clicked the transaction is strictly between the viewer’s system and the host server. FR is out of the loop for the actual operation.

Same for still photos. When a photo appears as part of a posting it is not on the FR server. It’s stored on another server and the viewing of it uses the storage and bandwidth resources of that server, not the FR server.

The difference between a link and embedding is kinda hazy sometimes. Embedding, usually, means the code to have the resource with the graphic serve it up without having to click a link. Linking, usually, means to view the graphic means having to click the line of code.

My apologies if you already know all this. Just thought it might be helpful to those who have never figured out the difference in embedding and linking. And even then, it’s a concept that can have differing descriptions!
