It won't let me load off of my lappy, it's wants the image to be on the tinternet already and asks for a code.

 

Is your cleaner self isolating?

MASSIVE DOH !!!!!!!

 

^The picture above for instance was taken on an LG D100


There is rotation metadata stored by phones and e.g. my Canon EOS100 DSLR.

1. If the picture is small enough to be accepted by the XenForo server, under the stated pixel and file size limits, it is not touched and the metadata is preserved. The server just stores the picture. Your web browser reads the metadata and correctly rotates the picture. (XenForo probably also preserves the GPS location of the pictures too along with the other metadata, its certainly telling me whose Nikon DSLR took the pictures of the back of a T4 engine for instance !! )
   
2. If the XenForo software resizes the picture, the plugin that is being used fails to respect the rotation metadata, it just strips it off . So if you take a picture with the camera not "horizontal" then the picture gets shown rotated by your browser, as the forum software has not told it of the camera rotation from "horizontal".
   HINT MODS YOU MAY BE ABLE TO FIX THIS. These pictures contain no metadata.
   
3. If you rescale the image below the stated pixel size and file size limits, your resized picture will be rotated to be 'correct' rotation by the resize application on your phone (or using annoying Tapatalk) and will then be shown correctly by the forum, and may contain metadata with personal identifying information - depends on the app.

I found the metadata by saving pictures off here in my web browser and then asking Windows to show Properties->details.

The moral is - there is a fair deal of info to be found out from pictures conforming to 1.. If you post a picture in category 1, of yourself in the US Capitol building surrounded by your uninvited colleagues for instance you have given away more data than you might realise...

 

^^^^^^^
Very clever but you can't have my camera.

 

I should imagine the other end can't be much better

 

Yeay....
Well done...
Are you from Yorkshire or brizzle

 

Samsung J5 mobile phone, if you're referring to my pictures

 

No doesn’t work for me unless I edit the picture and take a bit of the top or bottom
