   The plugin looks very nice, however there is something that bothers me:
   Embedded pics link to another version with an URL hosted on akamaihd.net

   Why is that and what impact?

   A one-second google would reveal that akamai is a CDN, which Facebook uses to host their photos. If you don't want links there then you should talk to Facebook.

   Indeed, :)
   Well, I had understood it was a big CDN, not sure it was one of facebook, strange..

   And I see it very clearly (unlike in another post) because I could not get the lightbox to work.

   It is in fact what stopped me to use te plugin: I could not get it to work with another lightbox system I use (prettyphoto), that normally picks up on any image link, but in this case I'd have to dig into the plugin code to change something, wihich is not a good idea.
   Otherwise it is a very great plugin, really useful, I 'll certainly use another time! Thanks.
