Why are some profile pics sideways? | Forum

I assume that when the new user is uploading their photo that it looks fine to them but once it gets uploaded to their profile they are sideways (90 degrees).


Is there a solution short of logging on as them and then downloading their pic and rotating it with GIMP and then reuploading?


Maybe I should just turn my head sideways when looking at their Avatar?  That works too.

Steve, can you send an example of the picture  that rotates 90 degrees ?
I wasn't able to reproduce this issue.

I don't know what the users are doing other than uploading a photo that they have in landscape mode.

I have tried to do so, and when I was uploading this image I saw that it was horizontal.
So users are aware that they are uploading their photos sideways, I guess that is exactly the way they want them to be.

If you will be able to reproduce this issue yourself, let me know.

There are those without clues that we still need to love.  It would be nice if there were an option in the crop thingie to rotate 90 degrees.

I have the same issue. I'm a tech person. If I was anyone else it would be an issue. I take a photo with a front cam and it comes out sideways on 1.6. Major issue. Need correction.
