Thanks for the heads up Ralph. I have taken a quick look at the help file regarding uploading of photos. I have had the photo uploader associated with this forum re-orient my photos sideways. Why is this? How can I change this? There does not appear to be an optioin to "rotate" the pictures in the uploader.

To illustrate my point I have uploaded a screen shot of some the pic's I have tried to upload. As you can, many of the pictures have been auto-rotated from their proper orientation. What gives?

I described a fix for this issue in this thread: Upside down, sideways cell phone pics

If you can't access it for whatever reason, you essentially have to open the photograph in an editing program on your computer before uploading. If you open it and it's the right way up, save it and upload that version. If it's wrongly oriented, rotate it and save. It's an issue with the way the uploader handles the formatting of photographs uploading from cell phones and tablets. I'm not a tech wizard, so couldn't specify as to why this happens. Possibly something to do with the images being too large.
