AOL Users - Important Information
Image Quality Issues While Using AOL
Many AOL users will see web images that are fuzzy, incorrect
colors or otherwise degraded in quality. This is due to AOL's integrated
browser's behind-the-scenes image compression. AOL's software is set
by default to compress .JPG, .GIF and .BMP images further into their
own ".ART" format, resulting in a far lower quality image
than the original posted image on the site. The intent of the compression
is to speed up page loading, by making the images on the web page
smaller in size. This would be a great idea, except 98% of all web
page graphics are already compressed (by the authors who create the
images, including our website), and recompressing them saves little
space, while greatly decreasing image quality.
Fortunately, you can change the image quality settings. If you would
like to view web pages the way they were meant to be viewed - with
clear, crisp graphics and pictures, we recommend you turn off AOL's
automatic image compression. This will allow you to view images undistorted
in their native format. Follow the steps for your version of the AOL
browser to turn off AOL image compression:
If you need help adjusting your settings, or if the adjustments do
not remedy your viewing troubles please contact AOL Support.
AOL 9.0 (and some versions of

across the top of the window.
Select "Internet [Web] Options" under the "I"

To correct the distorted images for web pages you've previously visited,

not store Web pages" to free up extra space on your computer.
Click the "Apply" button at the bottom right of the window
and click "OK" to close the window.

Click "My AOL" on the icon bar across the top
of the window.

Click on the "WWW" icon. In the Internet Properties window

the "Use Compressed Graphics" box.
To correct the distorted images for web pages you've previously visited,
you will also need to clear your cache. In the Internet Properties
window, select the "Advanced" tab.
In the section "Temporary Internet Files", click the "Settings"
button once, then click the "Empty Folder" or "Purge
Cache" button once. Click "Yes" once to empty the folder
and remove previously viewed files.
