If you are on AOL, and you use the AOL-supplied browser, you should know that there are two things your browser may do to severely limit your ability to enjoy pictures on the Internet including this site.

These are:

Image compression: In an attempt to provide faster download time, and reduce the load on AOL's servers, the AOL browser may compress images resulting in reduced resolution and poor image quality.

Image size restriction: Your browser may restrict the size of an image to 640x480 pixels which may distort the picture.
If you have AOL version 4 or above, you can fix the problem by following these steps:

Click on "My AOL" at the top of your screen.
Click on "Preferences".
Click on the blue icon that has a yellow "W" in it, and "WWW" under it.
Click on the "Web Graphics" tab.
Make sure that the box that says "Use Compressed Graphics" is NOT checked.

This will fix images on future sites you visit, but on images on sites you have already visited may still come up fuzzy the next time you view them. To fix this:

Click on the "General" tab. Look for "Temporary Internet Files", and click the "Delete Files" button beside it. You should now be able to enjoy internet pictures the way they were MEANT to be seen.
