  Not real sure as the add picture icon only seems to let you post a pic from the web.
  Good luck

  I believe that most cameras have a natural landscape type built in setting. Sometimes, when you turn the camera for a portrait setting everything looks fine, but when you download it, the picture turns to the default setting. This problem may be the result of compatibility problems. With some systems the only solution is to keep the camera in the proper orientation. I have a similar problem with my camera in that, whenever it is turned, the natural picture comes out at about half size.

  [quote]To expand on what DesertRat said - I think most cameras will record whatever image hits their image-sensor, regardless of orientation of the camera.  However, many cameras have, for want of a better expression, a gravity sensor, and so set a parameter in the file data that defines which orientation the camera was in.  Some image viewers recognise that parameter, and rotate the image accordingly, others don't.  With "the system" on the website processing the incoming image to stamp their logo on it, it seems that their image processor doesn't recognise that rotation parameter, and as it completely recodes the image, that information gets lost.  If you load your camera picture into an image processor on your computer first, maybe reducing the size, that should automatically rotate the picture - or if it doesn't you can do so manually.  Then when the modified picture is re-saved, it will be in the default orientation, and it should appear correctly when uploaded and viewed on here.

  It usually happens when you use an Apple Product.

  [/quote]That happens to me with my Apple iPad.  I find that if I crop the photo ever so slightly before uploading it, it won't rotate it.  I am not sure why but it works.
