Crop the photo before you post it whether you need to or not. Always works for me.

Other folks are doing this.

I was trying to find a way to see if I'm the only one that the side-ways pictures was bothering.......

I have had that happen a few times and still don’t understand why it happens. When I move the picture from my photo album it’s correct, but after you hit submit it suddenly flips. I don’t know how to tell in advance that it’s going to happen. Nor do I know how to correct it when it posts that way. Technology hard, hurt my head.

Man... I am getting a bad creek (crick) in my neck from looking at other folks side-ways posted pictures....
I have such a bad case of OCD that the experience of looking at sideways pictures messes up my concentration... LOL. I know it might not bother some of you and if I am in the minority here.... I will just have to live with it.

So..... just as a laugh.... here is one that might just show y'all what I experience....

That is my butt at the highest point in the pic.....

Is there a way to let everyone else know what to do?

I've tried to rotate them on my PC to offset the change in orientation that occurs here but it has not helped. I'm technically challenged on my best days and I've not been able to circumvent this detour even with all the help Jerryd has provided. Drives me nuts!
It's never an issue when I post photos taken with my Canon camera so I guess I just need to keep it with me at all times and forget using the camera on my phone.

There have been several discussions and much research done on this issue with the results posted on the forum but people don't read. Reorienting them is a very easy thing to do but people don't read.

I got tired of putting information out there only to have it ignored so I started just flipping them right side up but if you do that it is just enabling because in addition to not reading people don't even try. So I quit doing that (mostly). I'm tired and I no longer care. No offense intended.

I think some of the problem comes from people that post the picture to the forum directly from their phone. I never do that, I always move the picture to my PC, then post to the forum from my PC.

I always thought I was pretty smart about figuring this kind of stuff out eventually but ever since I got this new Samsung S8 active most of the pictures I take with it will with out rhyme or reason post sideways on AAPK so I have stopped posting pics from my phone. I have tried all the suggestions but none work and it doesn't happen when I post to Facebook or other sites only on AAPK. Something in AAPK software doesn't click with my phones software.
