OK in my iPad. Are you sure you’re not standing on your head?

I can't stand on my head. My legs and feet don't reach that far.

Here is a screen shot from my Win10 Home laptop. Correctly orientated. Have you tried another web browser?

Upside down on my W10 Home laptop running Pale Moon browser, a Firefox based implementation



I think this is another instance of pictures taken on an Ipad, or other apple device when the phone is the wrong way round when the picture is taken. The orientation is recorded in the Meta Data image tags of the picture and causes these problems on some devices. In this case the orientation is 3.

I would guess that the "shutter" button was on the left when the picture was taken.

Yes - it is the correct way on Chrome, the browser I use solely for PC browser games. (and testing like this occasion!)

Normally I use M$ Edge for browsing, ordering things, Facebook and BBC News and this forum.

Mystery solved.

Hi Rog

You are 100% correct. But why some browsers invert the image so as it shows correctly while another will leave it as taken, is very strange!

Is a four year old girl causing bother again?

Yeap ..
Haven't seen my three year old GD face to face for some 90 days now! Just couldn't stop her rushing towards us.

It's upside down on my phone, too, Glencairn. For a terrible moment, I thought that you had inflicted a cruel and unusual punishment!

I think it's more to do with the OS rather than the browser. Its shows upside down on my Android mobile but correct way up on my Windows desktop. Both use the Firefox browser.
