BBD .... I think the sideways problem is site related. May be from some recent updates/upgrades.
I know that I have to turn my phone to the right when taking pics, now that I have a new phone (& updated Tapatalk version) .... and even have to post them directly from the phone, via Tapatalk, to the Test Forum & then copy/paste them from there to my messages, otherwise they're subject to coming out sideways or upside down.
When I had my old cell phone & ancient versions of Tapatalk & Crappie.com apps ... pics came out oriented correctly with phone held straight up (portrait mode). Since then, and after getting a new phone (& updated apps), I've had the sideways pic problem. If I knew what I was doing, I'd uninstall my current Tapatalk & install an older version. But, even if I did that, if I ever updated certain apps (like Google Play, I think) then I'd end up with the updated Tapatalk & be at square one.
