Help with orientation pic's

[modelshipbuilder65]

Is anyone else having issues with downloading pictures that are not orientating properly???
I have never had any past issues and no matter what, I can't get the pictures to turn. Ugh, any suggestions????

The same thing happened to me last time I posted a picture where I too never had issues like that before.
I remember I edited the picture just a bit and posted it again (took 2 times).

Hi Rick, @modelshipbuilder65

If you post with an image you will see something at the bottom of the 'box' that says attachment editor. You can use that to orient your picture - but you can only use that function as an edit (that is, you have to first post and then go back and edit what you previously posted). Not ideal - but at least you can self-correct your image orientation.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but the edit attachment is not there????
I'm wondering if I need to dump the app and try reloading it????

That's an intentional feature of the ship modeling forum. It's a nautical thing. It is known as "the drunken sailor" view. If it bothers you, post and then edit and go to the attachment editor drop down menu and select "sober up view."

Hi Rick,

Below is a screenshot of what I see on my PC. Look just above and to the right of Herman's head (his avatar). At the bottom of your original post you will see something called Attachment editor - if I click on that it allows me to rotate your images - you SHOULD see the same thing... but only AFTER you have posted (meaning you have to go back into the post after you have posted and edit it). While you are drafting your post you won't see this Attachment editor... .
