Resolved Log in issue and sideways photos

[TheDarkLordChinChin]

Hi.
Every time I open this site I have to log in and go through the two factor authentication. Every time. This has been going on for a long time now.

Also, my photos always come out sideways when I make a post. Portrait photos come out flipped horizontal while landscape photos stay the right way up. This has only just started happening.

I'm on a Samsung phone.

Thanks.

I don't have to log in every time but my pictures are sideways, Samsung phone as well.

Samsung here too. Sideways pics lately. Glad this was brought up. I've only had to re log in every 30 days or whatever the time limit is.

Wish I could say it doesn't happen with iPhones, but it does.

In regard to the pictures issue.
Too large resolution pictures, and/or anamorph picture sizing (wide aspect ratio, neither 4:3 nor 16:9).

The forum software down sizes attached pictures.
It may have trouble with the "modern" trend of overly high resolution and ever wider aspect ratios.

Just for the heck of it set Your cameras to 16:9 and a lower resolution, make a picture and upload it.
I have my phone set to 16:9 & 9.5MP and all pictures upload fine.

Just trying to help till the issue is resolved by the Admins.

I had this page open in browser while logged in. I pressed the home button on my phone to take a picture with the settings tered to see if it would be flipped wen posted.
Lo and behold I had to log in again 2 minutes later.

12 megapixels 9:16. Can't do lower than 12.
This picture has been flipped.

I haven't gotten logged out on my phone since the stronger password demand got implemented.

I did check the "Stay logged in" box or whatever it says.

Maybe its because 'Yer Irish?!

In all seriousness for moment. How are you folks viewing your photos before posting?
I have had some photo utilities that would auto-rotate an image, based on some info from the camera. But only when you pulled it up in that viewing program.
The software that came with my Canon point & shoot cameras would do this.
So as a result, the image was still saved in a non rotated view.
You could post the image somewhere and it was "sideways" as a result.
