FuzzFace2 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I go the button to upload the photo, click the photo, then check center and big size. Then I add in the code to turn it 90° since my photos have always loaded turned for some reason. Then I enter in about three blank lines in the post above and below the photo, as Jim mentioned doing. Not sure. I'm barely a hillbilly mechanic let alone an IT specialist so I'm sure it's something I'm doing. What is this 90* code you speak of Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is this 90* code you speak of Dave ---- Under the Bullnose Forum Tab, there is a link for FAQs. At the very bottom of that page it is explained how to rotate pictures (if necessary). For whatever reason, when I load photos from my phone, they load turned 90 degrees. So, I add this verbiage to the code to get it to rotate back to right side up. style="transform:rotate(90deg); I have noticed though on the email notification I receive for my posts the photo is still turned, but on the page on the forum it appears right side up.

bp17oang Posted May 18, 2021 Author Share Posted May 18, 2021 If you quote a post that has a problem the problem comes with it. And the rotation code is what is causing the problem. Sorry, but I don't know how to fix that. So, my suggestion is what I just suggested to Dave in another thread - use photo editing software to rotate the pic. There are free apps for phones if that's where you want to do it. Or, most phones have an orientation for picture taking that makes the picture work with this site. My understanding is that on an iPhone you shoot in landscape with the volume control buttons down to do that. I wish I could fix the site, but I can't. It's not a big deal Gary. Just have to adapt a little bit. No worries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Under the Bullnose Forum Tab, there is a link for FAQs. At the very bottom of that page it is explained how to rotate pictures (if necessary). For whatever reason, when I load photos from my phone, they load turned 90 degrees. So, I add this verbiage to the code to get it to rotate back to right side up. style="transform:rotate(90deg); I have noticed though on the email notification I receive for my posts the photo is still turned, but on the page on the forum it appears right side up. Let me try to explain. In the olden days it was obvious which way up was on cameras and people took their pictures right-side-up. So forum software, which was written at about that time, didn't have to worry about that. Then along came smart-phones and people took pictures any which way. That caused problems right out of the bag so the manufactures started encoding the orientation of the phone/camera in the picture file. Recently-written software accounts for that and rotates the picture so the sky is up. But most forum software is stuck in the olden days and doesn't read the orientation code in the picture. So I think you have three options: 1. Take the pictures with the camera right-side-up, which I believe is with the volume buttons down on an iPhone. 2. Use photo editing software and rotate the pic before you upload it on the forum. 3. Embed some rotation code (HTML) in the code the forum generates when it uploads the pic. I use Option 2 'cause I shoot my pics in a high-res mode and that creates files too large to upload to this forum. But in many cases I want my pics to be the full width of the screen, so can't use the Big option on uploading. Given that I edit in Photoshop on the PC or Photoshop Express on the iPhone and make the pics ~500kb in size and with the sky up. As for the email still showing them rotated when you use the HTML code to rotate them, the email software doesn't run the HTML code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And for that, considering your profession, I apologize! Thanks for the code as I did not know there was such a thing. All this picture thing was not an issue till my picture hosting site stopped using some software(forgot what it is now Java maybe?) because of security issues. Thing is there is no replacement for it so I am kind of hosed right now. Before I posted any pictures to my site I could rotate them before I hit "save" and all was good. Then I could just post then here and they were right side up. The other thing I find strange is I switched browsers, out dated IE to Chrome, When I view my site pictures some are turned sideways and blurry and dont know why? I dont think I can get into my site and flip them because of the soft wear thing I will figure it someday when I get that bug up you know where Thanks again for the code Dave ---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After day 5 of the battle I gave in and took the booster/master off my 250... And we have brakes! Better brakes than my 06 truthfully. Working on the steering... Currently has a slight toe out. Problem I'm running into is that tie rod threaded ends are bottomed out in the adjustment sleeve. Am I correct in thinking I need to "tighten" that sleeve to correct the toe out, ie bringing the toe in? Anyone have any ideas on what I can do considering I don't have any more adjustment?
