Maybe all us designers should send AOL a note regarding this.  There are enough
of us to get some attention!

	Hello April,

	Under Preferences, set your Web Graphics to use Uncompressed graphics.
Then
	clear your cache and reload the page...your "fragmentary" graphics
should
	no longer be a problem. I viewed your page in both AOL 3.0 and 4.0 using
	uncompressed graphics and everything looked fine.

	Unfortunately, AOL ships their software with the "Use Compressed
Graphics"
	as the default setting. When using Compressed graphics, the gross
graphics
	only show up when using .jpg images...gifs seem to do fine.

	I'm wondering if anybody knows a way around designing jpg images that
will
	look good to the millions of AOL users who didn't change their graphics
	settings? I've e-mailed AOL tech support on two different occasions but
	they never answer...

	Sue
