 * Currently the header image is cropped significantly.
 * Here is the original image: [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Ken_Thompson_(sitting)_and_Dennis_Ritchie_at_PDP-11_(2876612463)](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8f/Ken_Thompson_(sitting)_and_Dennis_Ritchie_at_PDP-11_(2876612463)).

 * And here it is on our site: rsda.org.au
 * Is it possible to resize the header so that the image is shown full screen?

 * Hi,
 * You can try to change “Background Attachment” from Fixed to Scroll and tell me
   if it solved the problem.
 * The best thing is to resize the image not the header.
 * Best regards,

 * Hi Madalin,
 * This did not work. I ended up just uploading a new version of the picture, scaled
   to 50% size, for now.
