Who is the current "head honcho guy in charge of headers"? I have a request...

Can we please get rid of my keypad header (blurry, bad angle):



...and replace it with my blue Micro Switch header that I much preferred, which is now inactive:



I also want to put descriptions on my headers, which at the moment all say "No info available". How do I do that - and is there a proper format, like username/keyboard/switch/description?

Since Muirium is gone matt3o is handling the headers (amongst much else).

I like both of those, in fact I might have suggested your Micro Switch keypad.

I've put the DT keycaps, just because of... well... DT

Will he ever return? I hope so, since he's gone the overall pace has slowed down here...

Testing...


Edit: No, I don't think they quite work. I want my blue keyboard back! wah, wah!

I like both, I've used that top image here before but this works well.

I think this works better:
(I originally "seebarted" it, but it'll probably get missed that way. "Seebarting" seems to only work for seebart.)

...and of course, this one

That is correct although I don't seebart so much anymore, meme's are my bad habit of choice these days. Anyway all four headers work well so no need to edit anything around anymore.

Thing is matt3o does not update the headers much anymore after I bombarded this thread with many brilliant headers for months and months (those last 81 months when you held your Canadian grizzly wintersleep).

This one is my fave:

Why is my question being ignored?

I was perfectly happy with my headers being used without credit before, but now that we have this info thing, I want to have the same credit for my work as everybody else here has for their headers. If that's too much to ask for, then delete all my current headers:

Add your desired info to the pictures in your post and wait for matt3o to add them? He seems to be a busy person these days, so have some faith an patience

No one is ignoring you, tell me EXACTLY what the captions are supposed to read and I'll add them and stopp yapping like a Canadian yackety-yack. Also ENABLE your PM's !

headers.php

I added "By mr_a500" to those you listed since I don't know what keyboards exactly those are. The reason they were not captioned is because you were absent for quite a long time and I cannot remember all those keyboards.

I did not know who's images those were and he was absent for many months! There are still a few active ones that I cannot caption since I don't recognise them.

sorry, mate. bear with me I hadn't coffee yet. My message was not mean to you of course. On the contrary, thank you for all your help!

There is no problem here, mr_a500 asked for his headers to be captioned and I did although I don't know the details of the keyboards but we can add those later. webwit added the header "i" information button while mr_a500 was absent which is why mr_a500's headers had no description.

I removed the banners, just to be safe. Room for new banners! What are you waiting for?

Alright matt3o, here's a selection of the recent "best of the best" we never used:

dashboard255 was one of mine, info should be something like "Alps SKCM Browns, SKCL Greens, and SKCM Blues" optionally followed by "(lovingly hoarded by Scarpia)"

Which one is "dashboard255" ?

It already had the following caption:
Changed it to:

Oh it did? I thought it didn't have a caption. Is there a place where we can check the current header images *and* captions? I checked on http://deskthority.net/headers.php and couldn't find any header for my pic.

Mouse over the image and then click the little i icon in the bottom right.

Um... isn't something wrong with this caption? Dyesub?

The guy is banned let it go.

So this is where those gorgeous banner images come from! I always wondered.

I don't have any images to contribute at the moment—but as soon as we've finished moving and my keyboard stuff is set up properly again, I'll be glad to take and submit some nice studio-style shots of a few lesser-seen board details.

Meanwhile, thanks for the fantastic pictures! Some of the vintage ones are particularly fun—they take me right back to my teens, and the early years of widespread computing. Cheers, A.

Very nice Slom, I added some to my last post but we got more than enough anyway.
