photos do not reside on FreeRepublic but are only linked in the postings. Bandwidth is pulled from the sites that host the photos.
***Tell that to my computer when it’s bogged down with pictures over a wireless internet connection. When I go to sites that are text-only it’s much faster.
Page down key is yer friend for now.
I repeat. Posted photos on FR are NOT located on FR server but are only linked in the post. Look at the source code for the posts.
