    Can someone tell me why pictures I post that appear correct on my computer post upside down on this site? How do I correct this? They originate from my IPhone, if that means anything.
    Thanks in advance.

    They have a spinny wheel thing here…..it spins when your photo comes in and it posts whichever way the wheel stops.

    let’s see, if I hold the camera/phone horizontal they post the wrong way. Holding the Iphone normally gives me a normal photo. If you are left handed and hold the phone with the Home button on the left side, it will post your photos upside down.

    A pita fix is to open your photo in Preview (for mac) and rotate it 90 degrees, then save it. Then rotate it back and save it….then post it.

    Best I gots.

    This is a smart phone anomaly. Which goes to show that those smart phones aren’t so smart. Use a camera.

    If you open the pics in a photo editor like GIMP (free download) they will show up like they do on IDO. You can just rotate the file and save prior to posting them to IDO. It’s worked every time for me.

    I’m an iPhone newbie so I’m playing with posting pics. I downloaded Photoshop Express for free. But it seems that the camera function has what I need without using the app. I rotate the pic all the way around and hit done. It seems to post correctly then.

    I really struggled with this when I was working in Thailand a few years ago. Every since then it’s been O.k…..

    This should be fixed now. If the photo being uploaded has exif data attached and the server can read the orientation then the server will adjust as needed.
