Thanks for the link but my auto rotate is disabled. Photos that I posted earlier on this Forum went up as they should!

Most people think the issue is the forum software but its actually the phone. Other forums have this issue as well.

Have you tried editing the photo? This usually works. Especially if you edit on the PC

Also, and this could sound really silly but sometimes we overlook the obvious. When you take the photo with your phone, is it up/down (correct) or sideways (wrong).

Hi MAP, thanks for chiming in! I have edited the photo, and my photo was taken in the normal fashion or "up & down" as you correctly put it. Other photos that were taken and loaded the same way then posted on this forum went up correctly. Out of the five forums I post on, this one and one other are the only ones I have had problems with, As I understand it, others have had this same issue here...i can't imagine what it could be!

I added a photo of my Russian SKS and it posted nicely!

Well, those are the only tricks in my bag. I rarely have issues as I typically heavily edit them (crop, sharpen, adjust lighting, etc.) before uploading.

The only other trick I know is that if I download a photo to my PC, even though I rotate them using my camera's supplied software, sometimes they are still rotated wrong so I then will open the photo again using the Windows Photo Viewer and rotate them again. This always works (for me).
