Posting pics from a phone/computer- Tutorial

[Falconer54]

I just tried to upload 2 different pictures from my phone, same results. Guess it isn't working for everyone. Sure it will get figured out though.

Works from an android. Took a min to come up after i clicked upload. Thanks a million chris. Get that donate button working. I feel like a lazy idiot for not helping years ago. My wife does that writing code stuff...no thanks. Bravo on you.

Why do the pictures automatically turn sideways?

[Chris L.]

Thank you Jason. I appreciate the kind words. It's the mods and add one that start to get into the code and figuring crap out.

Not sure why turning sideways. Let me see if it's a setting. I will update soon

Only took a few seconds to add the picture. Thanks for the tutorial. Photo was autorotated to the long axis as horizontal.
I will try again with the same photo cropped to a shorter height.

Kieth,

So these I uploaded directly from my work CPU. No problems at all. I am guessing its something with your computer. There is nothing I can fix on my end as it is all working.
I am sorry this isnt much help but I dont know what else to do?

[Chris L.]

Ok I changed the size settings... lets see if that helps you at all. Let me know what happens

KT can you retry the photo that wouldn't upload for you?

Why do the pictures automatically turn sideways?

it is the way the picture was originally taken. Your CPU and phone can sense the orientation and correct it for you. The forum does not have this capability. So the original orientation will be posted. There is a mod for this that I may add to the forum so this doesn't happen. I just don't like adding more stuff as it makes more problems in the end

On the old NAFEX I likewise found that I had to shoot the photo the way I wanted it to post. I could rotate it in my PC and it would save in the rotated position. When I posted from the saved photo it would display in the as originally shot orientation. Something I learned fairly quickly to work with. It did limit me to wider than high format, so I just had to give up on narrow and tall framing. I don't do much cropping of photos in processing software, so I don't know what the result of trying to post a "trimmed in software" photo would be. I don't know if there is a PC software that will allow you to remove the original camera orientation from the file.

Thanx chris

[Chris L.]

I found if you adjust the size just a little on an iPhone it will save the picture oriented correctly.. then repost it

Chris: It worked today. Whatever you did last worked. Thanks! The only thing that's not working for me now is subscriptions. If you tell it to notify you immediately by email, it doesn't .
