As regards the antipodean photo posting. I think it is yet another quirk of this white elephant website.
Not just this site. I have it happen in other forums too.
It's usually a problem associated with photos taken on phones. I'm not consistent when using the phone in whether I take them with left or right hand.
Whilst they always appear the right way up when uploaded to my PC, it seems that online the forum software knows which way round they were, and vertically taken ones (portrait) it will place landscape.
I always post photos from my PC; if it's upside down on preview, I delete the upload, go back to the image in regular viewing software, rotate it full circle and re-save. Then when I try again its right way up.
Of course if you post from a phone, then you don't have the luxury of checking it.
So, these 3 images as an example:
First a screen shop of the Thumbnails, showing both looking OK
Then the original 3.9mB as taken, which appears sideways
Then the one I resized and spun around before re-saving at 680kB
