Morning @Minty with Mrs B we worked out that if I upload via user control panel it will upload wonky then I can flip it and submit and it will fix it, if I try and upload via quick reply or full editor by clicking gallery image and upload image it will upload wonky and usually I can’t flip it by going in and editing it. I’m on apple iPhone Se so it’s basicaly same phone as Mrs B iPhone 6 internals just inside an iPhone 5 case.

It doesn’t seem to matter if I have taken the picture portrait or landscape.

I have just tried again if I upload an image via control panel and then gallery it will upload wonky but I seem to be able to rotate it 90degrees right and submit and it flips it, I have noticed if I take a picture landscape ie with the phone on its side it will often but not always upload it as it is on my phone. Now that I know I can upload it this way and flip it il do that. Thanks for trying to sort it Minty is appreciated 👍

could this be just cos people are using their phone camera in portrait rather than landscape?

but you seem to have made it even longer to upload something
Technically yes, there is one additional step in mine as the images are not uploaded to the server until after the preview/edit stage. I guess I can make the 'Preview' part optional but without that it would be the same as the old one just with the added options of drag and drop + pasting in images.

Kinda need to try it out for a couple of days to see how it feels etc. so I will get it finished and we can run both uploads together and see what people think.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
