Hi all, I have done a search and have come up with some old topics that explain the issue my forum is having whereby when images are uploaded from a iPhone, iPad they rotate sideways, the strange thing is today someone had the same issue uploading from a Samsung device.
Has there been any work arounds for this issue ?
Thanks all

I can't find any settings in phpBB3 3.3.5 to fix this, I also use a "Crappy IPhone" ....
When the next person who tells me to buy an android phone, i will personally place my IPhone in there place where the sun will not shine, as for android thats new to me!
let me be wrong...

This can be a little difficult to explain but for the moment lets assume the digital files created by a digital camera are exactly the same as a negative roll of film. If you turn your film camera sideways the negative it's sideways relative to the other negatives. When you get your pictures back you need to physically rotate it.
The way the digital file differs is EXIF data that is added that says this end up. Anything displaying the image that supports EXIF which is pretty much everything these days will rotate the raw file to the correct orientation.
The issue with phpBB is that the EXIF data is stripped either when it's resized by plupload and/or during thumbnail creation depending on the circumstances. There is no longer a this end up flag resulting in a sideways picture.

I can recommend that extension of axe70. Works fine with phpBB 3.3.5 and php 7.4
Users are happy that they can rotate their pics with some mouseclicks.

I tried the first EXT in the topic and could not install it even though I appeared to have all the necessary it required
I did try the second EXT which gives the users their own option to rotate the images after upload or while editing which worked great
Unfortunately even though it does work it does not display correctly and the rotate image is too close to the image info image below
