ANNOUNCE: Software Upgrade 5/15
I am planning to go ahead with our caching upgrade tomorrow morning 5/15 at 8:00am. We are actually able to run the new caching system and the old at the same time, so I will switch to the new system at 8:00am and monitor the performance and make sure things are running smoothly. If not, then I will revert back to the old caching system.
More details are here:

This upgrade is very important because it will allow us to speed up some important pages, such as DKP totals (the Members page) and some of the more data intensive pages. Upgrading the caching system will lay the groundwork for the code changes necessary to do this. In addition, this upgrade will fix instances where the current system is slow to properly update the cache.
This upgrade should not result in any downtime, however, if the new caching system does not perform as well on our live servers as it has in testing then there may be a few minutes of reduced performance on the servers. However, the performance impact during the early hours will most likely not be noticeable.

UPDATE: 8:47am 5/15
This upgrade is complete. The rollout went very smooth from my perspective and the server monitoring indicates things are running quite nicely. We'll keep an eye on it very close for a day or so all the same.

Remove the background color from the header. Then try reuploading the image. The header area in the AOC template is a background on the page. So if you set the header background that is technically on top of it, so you don't want a background color, but a nice transparent image would sit there well.
We've done the AOC template a bit different than some of the others. We felt we'd rather do something cool than something safe, so customization to the template might take a bit more tweaking and playing around. Do you have a specific look you are going for? Are you trying to upload your guild name as a logo? Over the existing header?
