Upside-down Images/Pictures

[Unimatic1140]

Oh I appreciate your help Chris for sure!

So I found the problem. When I wrote the updated photo upload system I made sure to have the web server check the rotation/orientation of the image during the upload of the file. If the image wasn't right side up, I'd have this special imaging tool on the web server rotate the image and save the image file right side-up on server. Checking the error logs I see this special imaging tool that does the rotation has stopped working on April 28th, which seems to be about the right time frame that users started to notice this.

I've put in a call to technical support to have them fix this tool on the server and get it started again. Once they get that done (it may take until Monday since it is the weekend) any new pictures uploaded should be in the correct orientation once again like they have been in the past. Any pictures uploaded since 4/28 will need to be fixed manually, which I will do when I get some time.

Now as for browsers, it is interesting to note that Chrome is smart enough to read the image and rotate it automatically if it isn't right side-up. However Firefox, Safari and IE/Edge are not smart enough to do this, or so it seems. I use Chrome myself that is why I didn't notice that issue personally.

Thank you Robert.

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Thanks for everything you do to keep this site up and running.</span>

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">So......a funny story.  This morning I was doing a post and wanted to add a couple of pictures.  I started dragging them over like I always do and I kept getting this weird error message something not found or something to that affect.  I thought to myself, ARGH, now what?  Only to realize I was dragging them to the text window and not the Photos window!  Whoopsie!!  Easy fix, pay attention to what I'm doing.</span>

please see reply #19 above for my morning update if you haven't seen that

Well I heard back from technical support much faster than I expected as they fixed the issue with image upload rotation module on the web server. So any new pictures uploaded starting now should be fine if they were taken properly. Certain photos uploaded from April 28 thru this morning will be showing in the wrong orientation (such as Dave's slider pictures, etc.) and those will be needed to be fixed manually by me.

I fixed Dave's slider pictures as well as Paul's KD-10 dishwasher pictures. If there are other pictures you'd like me to fix please let me know both the thread # and post # and I'll get those fixed this weekend.

Thanks everyone for reporting this to me!

New problem?

No matter what browser I use, these oven doors appear to be sideways:

Hi Rich, well now that's odd I checked on my phone, on Chrome, Firefox and Edge and the oven doors look right side up. Does anyone else see those on this differently than the way I see it? Also you didn't upload that picture to AW, it is simply a img tag to the original website. Try saving the picture and actually uploading, now that the server is fixed it should save it right side up.

This is from Firefox:

Photo of oven doors is correct for me (Apple devices; latest version of Safari).

 

[sudsmaster]

Um, I guess my little attempt at humor fell flat.

Those are French doors, they are SUPPOSED to be sideways. !

Rich,

I picked up on your attempt at a little humor, but I had to cringe a little bit when others started taking you seriously.
I chuckled, if it makes you feel any better.

cringe worthy

Yes, thanks, I feel better knowing someone got the joke.

While a joke that needs to be explained has some serious problems, I felt that an explanation was in order when Uni didn't get it. He has better things to do, LOL...

 

[Unimatic1140]

I'm a big nerd I can' t help it

LOL! I can't tell you how relieved I am you were being silly, hmmmmmmph.

 

[frigilux]

Punked again!

Bunches of pics in recent posts continue to appear sideways or upside down.

It happened to me again yesterday

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">On a picture I took myself in Portrait.  The first one was a portrait I rotated manually the second one I dragged over the way I took it and that how it imported.</span>

 

[sudsmaster]

On an unrelated note, Sideways was a good flick.

Plus I'm sure Uni will fix it, but he says he's a bit swamped now. I have found that the Chrome browser will display the photos correctly when Firefox and Brave browsers won't. It's probably some complex stuff. I dunno.

 

[bradfordwhite]

Was it done on purpose?

Over in Vacland.....

 

Don't know if David did his profile pic on purpose, or.....?

I have just made a comment in the thread entitled Whirlpool Portable Dishwasher 2020 by Toggleswitch in the Deluxe forum.  The photos are completely messed up for me.  By the way, if anyone saw my photos in reply #100 of the "Bob Load Thread anyone?" were they orientated correctly?  They are fine when I view them myself -- they are all portrait except the one of the control panel.

 

P.S. I knew you were joking, Rich .  But that's probably because I do actually think of those oven doors as being sideways even though they are not LOL.

 

[chachp]

Mark,

 

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Your photos in that post look good to me.  I am on an iMac using Safari.  BTW, that dishwasher is STUNNING!!  I bet that thing really move some water.</span>

Glad to know I'm

not the only digital disaster. I got a new diesel locomotive for my combination birthday/retirement gift. It's german DB class 212 in ho scale. It took me from Wednesday evening until late this morning, (not steady, I slept, worked out, did yard work, etc.) to get it programmed correctly into my digital model RR control so every sound function worked, and with the corret screen icons showing up. It's amazing though. Only 6 inches long, and has every sound the life size prototype does. Engine starting, idling, accelerating, cooling fans, gnerator, compressor, air brakes, sanding for traction, bell, whistle, low and high pitch horns, squealing brakes upon stopping, coupler engaging/releasing, and station announcemnt. Inaddition, the head and tail lights are led's, which reverse direction with train, and tail lights can be shut off while head lights remain lit when in freight vs. passenger train service. Also speed compensation with accelartation and brake delay. Delay can be over ridden for coupling, uncoupling.
