PHOTO ORIENTATION
Tom suffers greatly trying to deal with issues from members and advertiser related to picture orientation. Our web guru has been doing his best to try to help but the problem persists and to correct photo orientation Tom has to go through a lengthy process and spend a lot more time than his share of the dues will justify. Below is the response from our web guru that explains exactly what the problem is and why it creates so much grief. If you want to post a photo you can help by holding the phone in the correct position.
“?It is caused by taking a photo with a device that has a gyro in it (digital cameras normally don’t, but phones do) and the gryo makes it look good to the phone/tablet. But when you upload to the web, web servers don’t have gyros and web browsers don’t understand the code the rotates the photos. If you google it, you will find millions of articles about it, but there are still no standards to fix the issue. I could add some code that would fix the issue in some browsers/devices, but make it much worse in others.Standards are needed. Currently, the best way is for everyone to take photos in ?landscape mode and just crop the landscape photo if they want a portrait mode photo look. There is plenty of res on modern devices to crop and have them still look great.Gryo devices are nice, but they don’t play well with the rest of the world.”

I should get a bigger percentage of the dues money….
Please, if you post a picture using your smart phone or tablet, hold the device in the landscape mode, horizontal.

Landscape mode and take picture button on the right. Otherwise the picture will be upside down.
