AOL and IMAGE COMPRESSION

Why might the images look murky and 'broken up' while using the CFN site?

This problem is experienced by AOL users with the 'built in' browser included with the AOL software. By default the AOL browser is set to display compressed versions of images for faster downloading, even though those images may have already been compressed. This causes images on the site to be degraded. This happens not just on the Californians for Nebraska web site, but everywhere on the Web.

AOL users who have an 'external browser' installed, and use AOL for their Internet connection only, will not experience this image degradation.

The default image settings for the 'built in' AOL browser can be easily changed. If you are an AOL user and want to confirm that you are seeing our web pages the way they are intended, just follow the instructions below for the version of AOL you are using. (You may want to print these instructions so that you can make the changes without switching between windows.)
