Not wrong on the image compression - It was the same in IE though, so I
recon it's something AOL do on a proxy server somewhere. It's rather
annoying going to great lengths to get nice small images that still retain a
decent level of quality, then someone messes with em without asking.

I suspect they do it to make their service seem nice and fast without having
to actually make it fast, I just hope their broadband dosn't do it aswell.

So now do I just accept that AOL users will be seeing over-compressed jpegs,
try png or write a different version of each website for AOL users, I think
I know which one it's gonna be :)
