AOL FAQ
Why do my graphics show up in MicroSoft Internet
Explorer (AOL Browser) but not in Netscape Navigator?
- This is because AOL by default has Compressed
Graphics turned on. To turn off Compressed
Graphics go to http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help12.htm
for AOL 3.0 or http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help11.htm
for AOL 4.0 and follow the step by step
instructions. Also, an AOL ring memeber sent in these suggestions: "I discovered the problem which was causing the blurry graphics which I had
downloaded from your Webring info site.
For future reference in assisting others who may encounter this problem, my
system in "Preferences" was set up in AOL to "compress" downloaded images in
order to speed up the process of internet exploring. However, image quality
suffers dramatically. I "decompressed" my system, downloaded the graphics
again, reinstalled them on the main page of my website, and now your graphics
look sharp and clear to me. If others have this problem, it is also necessary
to delete one's temporary internet files because these files will still be
holding the former stuff that's been downloaded there. It'll take a bit
longer for things to load in but the picure quality is very much improved."
Why does the WebRing fragment(code) appear
distorted after I add it to my page using Personal
Publisher? break after each line of code. When
- Personal Publisher adds what is known as a line
using Personal Publisher it is best to use a one
line code and follow the instructions at http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help07.htm
Why did someone tell me that a webring fragment
is best in one line for AOL members?
- Personal Publisher adds a line break after each
line of code that is entered. If you enter a 8
line code fragment it will add 8 line breaks that
you don't want. To avoid this problem refer to
question 2.
Someone said that My Place stores my graphics in
.art format by default. Is this true?
- No! "My Place" stores your files
exactly as you've made or copied them. If you
copied a graphic from the web without turning
compressed graphics off it will cause "My
Place" to store those in .art format no
matter what extension you've given them.
If I graphics saved in .art format how do I
convert them to a usable format?
- It's fairly simple to do. Follow the instructions
at http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help01.htm
to convert them to .jpg (JPEG) format which is
usable by all browsers that use graphics.
Remember there are Text Only browsers out there.
Will .bmp files work with all browsers?
- NO, follow the instructions at http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help01.htm
to convert them to .jpg (JPEG) format which is
usable by all browsers that use graphics.
Remember there are Text Only browsers out there.
Why does AOL email make it so hard to copy and
paste?
- AOL's email is made to read email as if it was a
webpage. In other words, it turns all html code
into it's active appearance. Link codes become
active links. Once the code is rendered like this
it is nearly impossible to copy and paste. Do not use the HTML frgment in the e-mail. Go instead to the URL in the e-mail and copy and paste the HTML fragment from the web instead.
What is this .ART format?
- The .art format stands for Static Art format.
This is AOL's way of making pages load faster for
their members. It Compresses any graphic format
to a smaller graphic file that takes less time to
load, including animated graphics. You can turn
this off by following the step by step
instructions at http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help12.htm
for AOL 3.0 or http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help11.htm
for AOL 4.0 .
How do I get .GIFs and .JPGs, not .ARTs?
- As covered in Questions 1 and 9, you can turn off
the Compressed Graphics by following the
instructions at http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help12.htm
for AOL 3.0 or http://uaolwr.simplenet.com/help/help11.htm
for AOL 4.0 .
Is there another way to have the ring graphics show without downloading them and adding them to my page directly?
- You can use the option that is available to AOL users only - you can link to the graphics on my page if you are having trouble figuring out how to upload them to your AOL page. Please e-mail me for instructions
