 * When I upload an image after clicking the “Set featured Image” link, it will 
   insert it as a header image whether I click the link to set it as a featured 
   image or not… it just has to exist in the gallery. This means that even if I 
   remove it as a featured image it will still show unless I actually delete the
   file altogether… obviously this is a HUGE problem if you have more than 1 image
   in your gallery.. as it will show any image it can find in there unless nothing
   exists.

   of the actions performed in admin.

 * Well guess it’s time to report this as a bug since no-one seems to know anything.
