Hey everyone. Hope your all having a great new year.
Does anyone know if theres a way to fix the problem where aol distorts website images? I heard they change file extensions to .art, and thus it washes out colors when viewed on website.
Can anything be done about this? My grpoahics look crisp, clean and colorful on any other browser or internet access, but aol seems to wash or blur all the colors to a certain degree. Anyone else notice this or have a fix? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately you have no control over this. AOL users have to change their settings from "compressed" to "uncompressed" graphics in their preferences to view the "real thing". That is, if I remember correctly.


"Hi my name is Kevin and I'm a former AOL user."
"Hello Kevin."

Good luck,

LOL,I just posted something like this last week...Scrolled down to see what was explained to me...Well,Muijfre let the truth be known..AOL compress images for faster loading and thats while they attach images as art.files...*I just did this Monday* Its works..Go to settings,and go to www images (or something)..You'll see a prompt stating something like do you want to turn off image compression and press the yes button and you're home free...
