Pictures appear upside down?
« on: September 27, 2025, 12:09:22 PM »
The two photos in my post in Weekend Update https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=60072.0 appear to be upside down in my Firefox browser.  They were taken with an Android Galaxy and reduced in size in MS Paint.  The originals all appear to be oriented properly everywhere except on The Railwire.  Is there a fix?

Because you don't see to be getting any expert replies, I'll suggest opening the pictures in a program that allows editing, including rotation, and then rotating them whatever it takes to make them right-side-up in that program, then save as a different file and see if that comes out right-side-up on TRW.

That said, I think I had some moderator help when it happened to me long ago.

Thanks for the help!  Thinking I would try turning them upside down in an editor, I first took a look again at the post.  The in-line photos are upside down but the thumbnails are OK and if you open them they are OK.  I'll remove the in-lines and call it a day.

And the actual explanation of why this happens is in https://www.therailwire.net/forum/index.php?topic=53677.0 . Computer technology is getting too complex, and  too many standards/formats to which not everybody adheres to.
