Red face Happy New Year!

Happy 2020 to All from not-so-frozen-just-yet Canada!

I'm quite the techno-luddite, but I decided to update my Avatar WITHOUT consulting a 4 yr old first, and no matter how I try to upload a new avatar picture, the system wants to rotate the picture counter-clockwise 90 degrees, and stand my car on its nose! What am I doing wrong?

The picture gets posted in the orientation that it was taken. So when the photo was taken, the equipment was not in the correct orientation. Some software look at this data in the image and make a display correction. A lot of online forum software do not - such as Jaguar Forums - as that data is removed.

Post the original photo here and we can make the correction so that it will display properly in your avatar.

Maybe I spoke too soon, Graham. It looks right in your post, but still wrong in my signature. Do you still want me to post the original here, and exactly how do I do that?

This was as easy as simply rotating the existing picture, however, I did not do so because I thought it needed cropped correctly and would wanted the original to go off of.

Thank you both! I'm going to mix myself up a little rum-nogg now, and wait for my New Years company to arrive!
