Not a bug Uploading an thumbnail image and its sideways

[tommydamic68]

hello,
A member has uploaded an image to a thread (2 members) and the picture is sideways. I cannot replicate it myself, its a thumbnail - not the full image.

Thank you in advance.

It's due to internal EXIF rotation information which isn't something we support reading. It has been suggested for the future though.

Why is it with some and not others? Is it per device?

 

[Mike]

Yes, it's very dependent on the device creating it.

Are you saying the thumbnail is in the incorrect orientation, yet when you click the thumbnail the full size image is displayed in the correct orientation?

No - it's sideways as thumbnail or full size image.
