Title: Photos appear upside down
Post by: bgreen on July 12, 2016, 08:01:57 AM
When I try to load photos on this site they appear upside down   ???.....I know I am in the Southern Hemisphere but was hoping there might be an easy fix.   I have even tried inverting the photos upside on my computer prior to loading....but that doesn't work....advice and a solution would be much appreciated  :)...cheers Bruce

Bruce, the only way I know of to fix that is to open a Photobucket account and link the pics there to your posts with the img url info next to each Photobucket picture. It requires an additional few steps, but the Photobucket account is free.

Thanks Sid I will get an account. A few extra steps seem well worth the reduced frustration. One other question, when you post photos as a reply to someone's post are you limited to 4 photos...I only seem to be able to upload 4....many thanks. Cheers Bruce

Not on photo bucket, because you are copying and pasting the url of the photo on photobucket into your post; You don't actually include the picture file itself in your post. I think of it like this: you compose your post and include within it a link or links to the photo(s) on photobucket - no limit to the number you can use in a post . This forum works with photobucket to grab and display your photo. If photobucket goes down, or if you move or delete the picture file on photobucket, your photo will no longer be displayed in your post.

Hope that helps.
Sid
