    Sometimes you just have to "outsmart" the system. Even if the pics you are uploading are "oriented" properly when you view them on your machine, you just have to open the file, rotate it the corresponding amount to correct for the forum's issues and save it on your machine that way. So if you uploaded it and it is rotated 90 degrees left, then open, edit and save the file 90 deg rotated to the right on your machine then upload it.... I know, that sounds wacky and is a PITA but there aren't any "built in" tools on the forums' uploader to do it....

    Default As I see it...

    The problems arise when the pictures are taken with the phone. Some folks here can fix it for you I don't know how but you have to test the position they will appear on the thread then delete it and rotate it and reload it. Whenever I upload and they are sideways etc They are pictures that I have taken on my phone. I have an android don't know about the apple....

    Most likely you are taking them with an I phone or Pad. If you do not hold the camera correctly the pictures will be sideways or upside down in a windows product.

    We need more information. Are you trying to upload them from your computer, from a camera, from a smart phone - what?

    I am taking pictures with an iPhone and then uploading via Windows and the pictures are 90 degrees out. Thanks for the replays so far, seems like it's an Apple / Windows thing and not me cracking up after all

    No, it's not you. It happens to everyone who tries to upload directly from their phone. Glad it's working from your tablet. What I have had to do is download the pic to my Windows computer and then make a small edit of almost any kind (contrast, crop, etc). Then upload from my computer. Bit of a PITA but not too bad. I'll try my tablet next time.

    Thanks for all the replies, seems easier to just do it from the Ipad

    I have that if you go into file where you have the pictures stored and resize them, just a little, then they stay right side up.

    Photos have orientation information stored in the photo file somewhere. Most photo viewing/editing programs will automatically reorient the photo when you view it. If you edit the photo and save it as a new file most likely the orientation will be correct in the saved file.

    The best thing to do is load the photos onto your Windows computer and then look at the folder using File Explorer with large icon option. You will see the photo oriented according to the embedded info. I saved the first photo below on its side and that's the way I see it in File Explorer and the way it uploaded here. The second photo I right clicked on it in the folder and selected rotate counter clockwise. As you can see it uploaded in the correct orientation.

    What you have to do with a Mac computer, or if you are uploading directly from your phone, I don't know. But if they're uploading in the wrong orientation it is because the orientation stored in the photo file is not correct. You have to change that orientation info either with a folder viewing option or a photo editor.
