In the past few days our AOL users have been reporting serious problems
Several Brickshelf users have complained about the new "blurry images" problem using AOL. I have not heard any reports of broken images or upload problems yet.
In the past, some ISPs have used a quality-reduction algorithm on images to "speed up" dialup users' experience; I assume that's what AOL has adopted. This reminds me of an old saying, "you can make any computation go faster if you don't care if it gives the right answer."
