• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

This is a test....

This test shows that the forum programing will only display the first photo you
select to be displayed Correctly. I posted the same photos on the GoldWing Forum, the BMW forum, The FJR forum
and the ST-Owners Club forum, all posted and displayed correctly.
STRANGE..... Anthony can you help out with this ?

Not Anthony, but see my attempt at answering this here: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?116645-Photo-orientation-issue

;)
 
Testing Photo position

OK folks here is what I did, the system will only allow 2ea. photos to be uploaded
otherwise it says file is to big. so loading 2 at a time is what I did. Now to get them to be
right side up I drug the pictures out of PHOTOS on my iMac to the desk top and then drag them
into the forums photos thingy... at 2 photos at a time it would take a long time as I have over
300 pictures of this years SEMA show, so I will post them to my facebook page where you can see them all.

This technically isnt an issue or an issue with the site software.

Vbulletin 4 when it was wrote/coded, displayed the image as it actually is when you view it on your iphone/droid/tablet etc.

Newer software like xenforo, vbulletin 5 etc uses exif data in a different way & orientate the image as it should be, like Peter explained in his post.

I was going to update the site & change it over to xenforo, but with Lamonts issues, that was put on the back burner.

One day the site me updated, but i couldnt tell you when.
 
Dave, try uploading 10 of the original images off your iphone, they will still be orientated as they are originally taken tho.
