I'm not a programmer, so I can't say for sure, but I think it's a stub of flash that would allow you to use a flash script, possibly to block right-clicking the image.

If it were shared as a flash object rather than as a jpeg, right clicking would bring up the flash player's context menu rather than the context menu that allows you to copy the URL or copy the image or save the image ...

There's probably a setting in your SmugMug profile that allows you to choose how "share" works, including whether the image is right-clickable.

The only thing I can say for sure is the first line is the URL for your photo, and the next to last line sets the background to white.

This is a new way to post for me.  I used to copy the URL of the
website when the picture was on the screen in SmugMug.  Now I use the
share function in the Smugmug menu to get a URL for just the image.

Beneath the images , only recently, that Steve and someone else posted,
a string of code appears - this is one batch:

(This has happened a couple of times -- anyone know why?
Is it something in Firefox? or the posters settings? )

is the above is the URL you are loading when you see the code?
YES

when you load that URL, you are not loading a website, you are just loading
an image with no extras; something else, not SmugMug, is adding the code you
see ? probably something at your end; it doesn't show up for me in Firefox
nor in Chrome, and it's not there when i make a raw HTTP request with wget;

the code is a "Flash cookie" which can store information that can be read by
other websites; that makes me slightly suspicious, but i don't know enough
to say whether it is a problem
