Did I not upload the middle one already? (Honest question!) How many pages back do you want me to look?

Edit: Thanks Seebart. Right now I prefer the "with carpet" version. I'll pick when I'm at the real computer, later.

Oh I like the first "creamy coffee" one! :o Great shot mr_a500.

I noticed there are two nearly identical headers in the current header list:

That's a mistake of mine caused by the fact there's (currently) no way to delete them in the UI. Here's what it looks like for me:

Headers can be in either of those two manually sorted lists. Inactive ones are never shown. I can shuffle the entries in both those lists, and activate / deactivate individual ones between the two lists. But I can't remove them entirely.

So when Prelim requested I upload his updated version of that header, I did. Yet the original is impossible to delete. Both of them are eternally present in the system, and I can't tell them apart, so will sometimes have both of them active accidentally just because I can't remove the outdated version.

There are several dupes like this I'd like to remove entirely. Most of them are simply easier to spot apart on first glance.

My point was that they're both in the active list. You should probably move one to the inactive list.

Edit: OK, I see you now did that. I can't believe you added that nudie. :lol: That was supposed to be a joke.

Refresh.

Edit: It's not quite sharp enough to cut the mustard as a keeper, but I'm letting it in for now!

What happened to matt3o's "sneaking pumpkin"? It's in the inactive list.

Technical difficulties when uploading. (Webwit had to go poke PHP or something.) Things left off in an unanticipated state! Ugh look at all those dupes…

I believe she deserves a better clone job.

Please replace her with the sharp version!

Is that an early apple?

Did you see the mix of SPH-blue and HONEY-black keys!

Although it's from a different era with a different mindset, the photo kind of invites misunderstanding imo. I'm not sure if I like it as a header picture. :?

Because in the data center it was too hot, they decided to move into the backyard garden. Photo taken during noon-break, shows the secretary eating an apple.

Can't see any problem with this picture.

I loved the second one, but please use the clone tool for the vegetation @matt3o (not blur), and slide it more to the left side is possible ;)

I don't think we need naked ladies in the header, but I saw that it was included in the list of headers and if we really need it, at least make it right :)

It isn't that racy, but it's definitely sexist... It's an allusion to a different era of course, but just citing it in the header without context still has some air of "this is a men's club" to me.

To the contrary!

We show that even in the 70s, women appreciated mechanical keyboards with spherical key caps!

I don't think it's sexist, but then for balance there should be some naked guy header. 7bit?

ok that's a good argument. The image is not really appropriate for our time. And even worse viewers who don't know this community might get the wrong idea about us here. Personally I like the image, but it's no header material.

Forget it! Let's not go down that path. :o :?

What do you mean "not really appropriate for our time"?

Are we moving backward, towards puritanism?

Yes, once we find a picture from that era, it will be included.
:evilgeek:

We could make a place-holer header with <insert naked guy here>.

I didn't intend it to be a real header, that's why I did a totally half-assed clone job. I did it in something like 20 seconds as a quick joke. I certainly didn't expect it to be used. I agree that it's a bit too nude for a header.

...and I definitely do not want a naked guy header! (where's that vomiting smiley?)

PS: mr_a500 I didn't want to be disrespectful of your work, but since I've seen it on the header I thought we could do a better cloning.

I didn't see any disrespect. I totally agreed with what you said. :)

no were moving foreward 7bit! As a header image it's almost a little sleazy, that's what I mean. The image itself is harmless, I'm sure we all argee on that. But Mu decides anyway. Besides we have so many other great shots here.
