Bug report: Pictures rotating

[jccaclimber]

The first 5 pictures in this thread are rotated incorrectly. ?They are not rotated on my computer, but were when uploaded. ?The 6th picture is correct (ie not rotated).http://www.dfwmas.org/community/all-other-items/repairing-a-biocube-29-splash-shield/#

I've run into this on another site, also. ?Some software has the ability to read the orientation data in the pictures (for example, the Preview program on a?Mac does this). ? So it'll appear right side up because the program is automatically "fixing" it when it displays it, but when you load it to a forum it shows up as it actually is. ? ?As you've found, the easiest fix is to open them up and force it so save them again with the right orientation. ?It's kind of annoying but it's not actually a bug, just one system has a "feature" that the other doesn't. ?
