Photo of the day

Using "attach files" below the text box. These are two different images. One taken with the phone vertical and one horizontal. You can see the forum got it wrong when using this method of attaching pictures.

The button in the red square is the one that works for me:

It’s interesting, I’ve only ever used ‘attach files’ but for the first time last week or so a couple pics were sideways. It was my new way of tying the front of the boat to the hood loops.
I guess I’ll be using that image icon now.

That icon isn't working for me. In fact none of those icons at the top are working, haven't been able to use emogies for some time now.

There is a pair of brackets on the right side (in the red square). This will turn those functions on or off.

Thanks guys.
This thread is turning into a forum software tutorial.

A few from last week, scouting on a rainy day and then paddling on a sunny day. An owl, wild grapes, water lily and some landscape.

I don't think anyone is doing anything wrong with their sideways pictures but the reason it happens (looks correct on computer but incorrect when posted on forum) is that when the picture was taken there was a piece of data attached to the picture which tells software the orientation of the shot.

I wonder why all of a sudden it's become a problem.

I just tried it from my phone and got different results depending on how I uploaded pictures.

If I used the "attach files" button below the text box then my image, which appeared correct on my phone, showed sideways on the forum. But, if I used the 'image' button that is above the text box, where the rest of the editing tools are, then the photo showed the correct orientation.

Apparently, this is a known bug in the most recent version of Xenforo that has been resolved with a patch, which I've asked our webmaster to install. See this post of mine in today's Posting images thread:

Posting images in threads

The forum is having some trouble with image orientation with some pictures that should be vertical posting as horizontal. This seems to be happening when using the "attach files" button below the text box. Instead, try using the "insert image" icon above the text box as this seems to be...

That paddle doesn't look very wooden.

Carbon fiber straight shaft, it ain't a double and it ain't bent, I'm not a complete luddite.

Carbon fiber straight shaft

Where did you get it? I assume it's similar to a sugar island blade type?

Ordered it on line somewhere a few years back, can't remember the details, cost about 500 bucks Canadian.
