Sideways pics

Posted some photos to a thread from my android phone.
They showed sideways, never had that problem before.
Then three more threads showed up with the same sideways photos.

Is this something on our end
 
So, if you're posting from the phone that is the issue. Unless you go into "edit photo" not simply turn it over, and edit the photo to the proper orientation, then SAVE the photo in that orientation it will always default back to sideways
 
I know you're on Android and I'm an iPhone guy, but it's a common problem with iPhones. You whip out your phone and hold it horizontally to take a pic, but the camera doesn't rotate from portrait to landscape orientation and your photo ends up being sideways. They may look correct on the iPhone but when downloaded to my Windows laptop they're in the wrong orientation. On the iPhone, the key is to look at the zoom controls on the edge of the screen and make sure their orientation matches the orientation of your photo before snapping the shot. Maybe it's similar on Android?

But the photo is not sideways in my phone photo gallery.
And I rarely hold it horizontal.
Weird, I just tested some more pics and they all showed sideways.

Phone recently updated and doing a quick search it seems the "auto rotate setting" could be a problem.
Smart phones, yea right..
