[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Okay Guys and Gals, I just had to get this off my chest. It’s been bugging me forever. It has to do with posting pictures. I’m NOT casting stones at any one individual, but if you’ve done this in the past, please give it some thought before you do it again in the future.[/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Your camera/phone is built with a designated normal upright position. Pictures taken in this position are printed and displayed with a person’s head at the top of the picture and their feet at the bottom if they were standing upright when the picture was taken. If you turn the camera/phone left or right to take the picture then the picture is printed or displayed in a rotated left or right position by 90 degrees. And some of you post those laid over pictures in your posts just like they were taken. Trying to look at those laid over pictures is a monster turn off for many folks. The BFT site (and others forums as well) don’t have any way to rotate them back to an upright position built in, so the viewer has to perform several manipulations to it to be able to see it the way it was intended to be seen. Aaaaarrrggh![/size][/#800000][/font]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]It would be ever so nice if the poster would just take that little extra time and a couple of steps to rotate the picture to an upright position BEFORE posting it so the viewer can actually see the picture and glen the beauty and the details that the poster really wants to portray. There are any number of apps to do this on your PC and on photo sharing sites like Photobucket. Doesn’t it make more sense for the poster to do it than having dozens of folks looking at it to do it? It does to me.[/size][/#800000][/font]
