About half the time I post an image, it’s rotated the wrong way, and as far as I can see, there’s no way to fix it, and I have no prior indication of how it will post before I post it. -shrug-
@f00l Currently using Android 6 Marshmallow on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Active, but in the future also an HP laptop running Windows 10 Home (which I suspect won’t pose problems).
@PooltoyWolf well, if you want to try uploading again we made a change to attempt to read EXIF metadata for rotation instructions. Hopefully this means photos display in correct orientation more often.
@katbyter If you’re on a mobile device, rotate the device to landscape mode (sideways) before hitting the ‘reply’ button. More options for your post will appear, including a small image button in with all the options at the bottom of the dialog.
If you notice it’s wrong, rotate the image outside of meh then edit your post and replace it with the correct image.
You could whisper yourself a post to test how an image will post in advance, I suppose.
If you are posting mobile photos, I suggest cropping even just a little bit and saving the photo. That always fixes my issues.
@RiotDemon I will try this, thanks!
What device or computer: (iPhone, Android, other device, win, Mac, etc) is used for posting?
You can always ask the Volmods

To fix it.
99.9% of the time I’m on my phone so all the images look correct to me already.

@f00l Thumperchick isn’t a volmod anymore. Full fledged employee.
@f00l @RiotDemon Still feel free to tag me.
@PooltoyWolf do you have an example we can look at?
@shawn I did, but a mod already fixed it for me haha! It was upside down in my post in this thread:

@shawn Did it work?
EDIT: Hey, it worked! Awesome! This is the exact same image I posted before, that was upside down the first time.
When the picture doesn’t post right side up.

How do you post a picture?
@katbyter If you’re on a mobile device, rotate the device to landscape mode (sideways) before hitting the ‘reply’ button. More options for your post will appear, including a small image button in with all the options at the bottom of the dialog.
@PooltoyWolf Secret menus? Very meh.
@katbyter Shhhhhh
@katbyter @PooltoyWolf p.s. you can also find the button if you turn on “desktop mode” in the browser.
