I don't think there is any magic. I don't know for sure but assume it's just the forum software not handling "EXIF" tags in the image files well.

Maybe if you share more details about the steps you use to post images, someone that has a similar process can share their "workaround".



For example...

I view the forum in the Edge browser on a Windows 10 PC. I capture images with a Samsung cell phone or an older digital camera and store them in the cloud on Onedrive.

I upload into PY and preview before posting. If the image isn't rotated correctly in the preview, I remove it, then open the same image on my PC, typically using the "Photos" program. This program ALWAYS handles the EXIF data fine and rotates as needed. I then make a minor edit like changing the size just a little. I then save the same image again...basically overwriting the same file on my PC or in the cloud. This fixes it for me.

Yes, it is a pain and I'd love to hear how to avoid it. I'm sure others have simpler solutions...
