MG TD TF 1500 - Why are pics posting sideways?

I don't want to hijack Bill's thread so I'm starting a new one. I too find that pics posted directly from my iPhone are rotated on the bbs. The only solution that I have found is to transfer the pic from my phone to my PC, open the pic in a "paint" program, rotate it if necessary, save to pic and then post it to the bbs. I hate all these unnecessary steps but it's the only way I've found that works.

Does anyone have a better solution?

Thanks.

This just began happening with my IPhone in the last few days. I noticed it started doing the same thing in the MGExp yesterday. I don’t use my PC online. I have tried to rotate the pic prior to sending it but it continues to orient itself sideways in the same position no matter what I try. There’s got to be a way to correct the issue.

I just rebooted my phone. Deleted the pic on the MGExp and resent the same pic. It viewed correctly. But I just did a test here with negative results. I then rebooted again tried to resend the pic here still with negative results. IDK what to do(?)

I believe that the problem is caused by your iPhone. It senses the orientation of the phone when the photo was taken and shows it in that orientation. The problem is increased with photos taken pointed downward. The phone gets confused.

My old mobile is not used in photo mode. I only ever use a digital camera and download directly to my PC. Occasionally I need to take one in portrait as opposed to landscape. But it too presents here rotated anticlockwise 90 degrees. See the example on the Door Gap thread. DAMW. Cheers

It’s never been a problem before. And I’ve downloaded a lot of pics on the two sites...all off my IPhone. I reloaded this same picture on the MGExp this morning and it oriented correctly.

Apple products have had this issue before. I suspect you will have to wait for them to patch the issue. Could be a different issue I suppose, but it seems unlikely.

Like Pete Hehir, I too use only a camera.

I have an iPhone 6 and have had nothing but troubles up-loading to web-sites other than this one.

I am quickly reminded that the iPhone is first a telephone, and not a camera.
