Re: FLASH: OT: AOL Browsers

[Catherine Kunicki]

This bad display is an AOL browser default - it has been present since the

first AOL browser in v2.7 or so. If any graphic is larger than something

like 3k, it is re-rendered and further compressed with the aol software as a

jpg. This is one reason why the browser is so slow.


This can be altered by your client via the AOL preferences. I think its in

Web Preferences --->Use compressed images. "Use compressed images" must NOT

be selected for the graphics to display in the way they are intended.
