It DOES get rotated to the proper orientation if you click on it to view it full size.
As to why? No idea.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

We've discussed this one a few times and I think it's because some programs change the orientation for viewing without actually altering the original file. If you save it in Photoshop the right way up it will always be that.

A little investigation suggests the site isn't acting on the Rotate 90 instruction in the exif when images are incorporated into a thread. One for the site developers to investigate perhaps as they really ought to come out the right way up.
To avoid the issue, rotate the image in some other software which actually rotates the mage and resaves it with both correct orientation and exif data. But that is a workaround as technically the files are valid to show correctly as proved in the full size view which takes the orientation instruction into account.

Hi,
The orientation of images primarily comes down to the device, platform, browser or software you are using based on the exif data as the Johns have rightly pointed out, for example if I view this image on Windows using Firefox the orientation is incorrect, if I use iPad & Safari it's fine, mobile devices having greater support for the exif record.
Ideally at the point of upload, our system would detect if there is an orientation record, rotate accordingly and remove the record. Unfortunately at the moment in time this isn't the case, so for the time being, it's a case of ensuring that the photo is the correctly orientated and not overridden by any exif record.
The fix is on the upgrades list, but I can't say when it will be completed.
Hope this helps,
Rick

Refuse to use photoshop because in simple terms it is a cheat.

You don't have to use it that way (we've discussed that before.)
A suggestion, turn off the orientation in the camera then that rotate command won't be created. You'll also see the full image on the rear screen too. Then having got your image use windows explorer to rotate it. Also Irfanview is a handy program for manipulating an image's, size, orientation, adding borders etc.
At the end of the day, whatever is creating that rotate command, use something else. I know you don't like to manipulate your photos in software but using basic commands won't alter the colour, exposure and so on without you asking it to!

The default image viewer in Windows 7 saves an image if you rotate it. I do this in preference to firing up Photoshop.
As to PS being a cheat, I loved staring at my negs on a light box as printing them would be cheating...

A light box? Far too high tech. Hold the negs up against the sky to view them!
