My avatar photo is sideways?

[spencer5650]

Ok, finally got around to adding an avatar photo and it’s sideways, how do I fix it. Working from an I-phone, desktop is down. Thanks

I'm thinking you'll need to rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise, wherever the image is hosted.
Then save it.

Indeed it is. There are some computer-savvy members here that can probably help.

I'm doing good to get on a website and type.

If you uploaded it straight from an iPhone, you can "edit" the image in your camera roll, rotate 90 degrees, and save it. Then re-upload.

Sometimes I have to screen shot an image and upload the screenshot. It seems pretty immune to rotating.

I just thought Bedford had some steep hills.

and sometimes you have to go into an editor like Paint. Rotate, save, then rotate back, save.

I HATE how iPhones and certain web servers do/dont honor the orientation codes embedded in the file. I had one that would look fine on my desktop, but once it hit a webserver like eBay it would rotate. thats where I found the trick I suggested.

^This.
It is the same reason I quit offering items in the classifieds. I'm not computer savvy enough to get pictures from my phone to my computer, let alone "host" them somewhere, and then transfer them...
I pass.

Im still struggling with just finding where to add an avatar lol

On your UserCP page. But you need access to pics in your computer or off site storage.
