I'm not sure what the secret handshake is, but I believe that some amount of pre-rotation of the picture on the device or on your computer before uploading helps.
There should be a better solution than load picture on some other computer than rotate it some, might be right. The rotate button should be in the forum software
Sorry, but the forum software we're using is not being modified or updated anymore...only updated for security reasons. This is a problem with specific phones with specific operating systems. I'm pretty sure that any picture I've uploaded with my phone has never resulted in a rotated picture. Thus the issue has to be with the embedded information that is incorrectly being used on other phones/systems that is the problem. So, going forward, the user's will have to figure out how to "beat the system".
Take the photo holding the phone rotated 180 degrees, or transfer to a computer and rotate the photo, or see if you can find an app that will rotate photos on the phone.
Just to store this info in a couple of places, this link was offered as a way to solve the orientation problems with iPhones. The app being discussed isn't available, but at the bottom of the link is info on how to hold the iPhone to be sure the pictures come out the way you want them.

Interesting a iphone can only be held in one orientation when taking pictures.
