@sck FYI It happens a lot with Linda, even with the photo of cat. So I wonder it is a problem of auto detect.
I will uninstall a number of things this week to see if it fixed things. @LindaWhit when I have done that, I will let you know. After that, please let me know if you and others still see misoriented pics. Thanks.

Thanks @naf and @sck. I do want to say I’m not doing anything different from what I’ve been doing all along when I post here - I take my pictures and download them to my laptop, and then post as usual.
Uploading one of my upside pics from WFD last night to see what happens:
Yup, still upside down. Now I’m going to try a drag-and-drop from the folder the pics are in:
And still upside down.
So I went into the photo on my laptop’s drive and rotated it so it’s upside down when I look at it that way. Let’s see if it’s right-side up.
Remains upside down - which technically is the way it’s supposed to be. So I went back into the upside down photo and rotated again, and let’s see if NOW it’s right side up.
OK, I give up testing. LOL

Let me try a picture that worked from earlier in the month (January 4th).
Still upside down. I’ll try clearing my cache on my laptop and see if that helps when I have to sign back in.
This is the link from the original post: What's for Dinner #29 - 01/2018 - New Year 2018 Edition - #56 by LindaWhit
testing … this is so bizzare
he expands when you click on him :two_hearts
he is right side up in the what’s for dinner thread now
I’ve cleared the cache, and will try to upload a couple of pictures again. My original Finnegan picture (still upside down) and the Guinness Beef Stew. Both upside down.

mine came out squeezed like your bottom photo.
I have checked the code, instead of 700 x 394, the script reversed it to 394 x 700. (now it is corrected)
@hungryonion FYI: It looked like this when englow uploaded it.
Is it related to the new way that images are uploaded since December? (Before the code was HTML) We never had any problem before this change, the problem started randomly probably since December, but got worse this month.
Doubt it. I tested a picture at the forum software’s test sandbox. seems ok there.
I just posted on WFD again - upside down. I give up.
Let me guess- are you uploading the pics from a Samsung phone?
When you have a moment, would you mind sending me the problematic pics directly via email? I want to upload the pics to the forum software maker’s own forum to see if the orientation was off there as well. There was a discussion 7 months ago about this issue. Supposedly fixed then. Thanks.
Odd that not all photos even in the same post are either normal or upside down. I don’t seem to have a problem posting using my laptop.
Anyway, just notice the horizontal rows (“latest” page) are like 3 times wider now. Takes up too much room thus more scrolling.
I’m not - I’m a bit old school and hate “typing” on a smart phone. So I Email the pics to myself, download onto my laptop, and then upload from there.
I’m going to send myself one of the pictures (the panino sandwich) to my work Email right now on my work PC, download it, and then upload it here. Let’s see if it works.
OK, first off, when I click on the photo in my work Email, it opens FIRST in Windows Live Photo Gallery" - and it’s upside down. But on my laptop at home, it just asks to save to my computer—which it has ALWAYS done. When I double-click in my Photos folder, the pics always show up on my laptop right-side up.
So at first I saved “as is” (i.e., upside down). TestHO1 pic here - appropriately upside down:
TestHO2 pic - the one I turned 180 degrees to be right side up when I viewed it on my work PC:
So I’m wondering if it’s the way it is downloading on my laptop? Again - when I download and view on my laptop, it’s viewed properly, and I don’t think I’ve made any changes to how photos are downloaded. No idea if I have Windows Live Photo Gallery on the laptop, but I’ll check and see if it can be the default viewer.
But I’ll send you the pic, @sck, from my phone.

@sck here’s the upload of 20180130_192253.jpg again. I saved it from the Email I sent you via my phone to my laptop’s desktop and haven’t done anything with it.
And by George - I think you’ve got it! 
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

I think it has been fixed. Though if people tries to reupload images that has already been previously uploaded and shown upside down, the reuploaded images is not going to be different. It should only impact newly uploaded images.

A new case @hungryonion :
@emglow101
What is the problem, the photo is it compressed? Is the orientation good?
@emglow101 I think the question is whether the pic looks misoriented or ok on your phone/ computer. If its misoriented on the phone/ computer, the forum software is doing the right thing.
