Problem with alignment of images when uploaded to TRF and possible solution

lol descriptive title hope i help people asking about upside down images.

I have noticed images - when uploaded to the forum - sometimes show up upside down.

I have found a partial remedy to this by doing the following (please note the solution - at least - applies to Mac iphone users the rest should buy an iphone & Mac if they want the problem solved lol):

1. Upload the image on the Mac from your iphone.
2. Rotate the image 360 on the standard program for viewing pictures (Preview) and save it.
3. Upload it to TRF.
You should have a proper (not upside down) image.

Basically i am doing a full rotate of the image (pressing the rotate button on Preview program at the top) back to the initial position i found the image when i opened it on the Mac.

Usually the image uploaded from the iphone on the Mac is fine it only appears upside down on the forum once uploaded for some mysterious reason.

So by rotating and saving it works. Image uploads correctly to TRF then.

Some black magic curse on the forum i guess.

When i upload from tapatalk straight to the forum from my phone i do not get images upside down.

Hope that helps (at least so i intended ).

If you want to post directly from your iphone you can also

1 open the picture on your phone.
2 rotate it any way and close.
3 re open and rotate to the correct orientation you'd like to see as posted and close.

When you post it will show as it was last "edited". You can also open the pic and slightly resize it then close. It will post in the edited orientation.
