      It must have a strong grip to be able to hold on at that angle! ;)

      Indeed!

      I don't like to rotate my pictures as it can cause compression issues with the jpg.

      Then I forget to rotate when I post on here.

      Is there a way to rotate via editing?

      no, you need to rotate the pic before uploading.

      I assume that the pic didn't need rotating as presumably it was taken in portrait mode but the board has changed it to landscape mode? I no longer post images taken in portrait mode because of this issue with the board (software?), which is a pity. It is a very nice image and a shame that it can't be viewed naturally.

      It's nice to see that the zoo has a male now instead of just the female.

      you just need to rotate the photo before uploading, using whichever photo editing programme you have on your computer. It's perfectly simple.

      But the photo doesn't need rotating before uploading. If I take an image in portrait mode I want it displayed in portrait mode so I upload it in portrait mode. Recently though the board has been displaying portrait mode images in landscape mode, like this one I assumed. Are you saying if I take an image in portrait mode I should rotate it to landscape mode before uploading and then the board will rotate it back to portrait mode?! :confused:

      No, most cameras are setup in landscape format - if you want to take portrait you have to turn the camera on it's side - and you end up with an image like the one above. A lot of software (i.e. photo editing software) will automatically rotate the images when you view it - for viewing purposes only. But unless you save it to your hard-drive in portrait modes (after rotating) it will remain in landscape.

      ZooChat does not rotate images. If you haven't saved it in portrait, it will end up as a landscape.

      It's a shame we can't rotate post-post; I have some Kakapo shots with which I made the same mistake Newzooboy did with this.

      Chlidonias: is there a way we can reupload the images and overwrite the first?

      you can re-upload the photo (after rotating it ;)) and request the old photo to be deleted, but you can't replace the old photo directly with a new upload. But if there is a comment thread on the old photo (i.e. people making comments on the photo) then it probably won't be deleted unless they are too banal to bother keeping.

    There are no comments to display.
