How do I get my avatar to be right side up again? I've come to accept pictures in my posts being upside down as simply my cross to bear, but why do I have to be too???

Are you posting directly from your phone? When I try to do that they seem to post however they darned well please so I always dump them to my laptop, fix them, then post them. But I'm not too smart about smart phones... This is your avatar with just a one click edit.

It was right side up for a while, until recently. I can't remember if I took the picture from the ipad or my phone. I tried to edit it under "profile" with no success. Really in the great scheme of things it is entirely unimportant, but it bothers me all the same... Oh well.
I fixed it for now, by deleting it and re-setting it. Let's hope it stays put!

The last time I saw your avatar, nana, your stove was sideways, but now it's completely upside down! Something is different. Maybe try whatever you did a couple more times? : )

Upside down? Really? To me right now it looks right side up! I thought I had fixed it. It must be this old ipad. It has a lot of glitches.

This is how “techno-savvy” I am—were it ME, I’d take a pic of the Chambers whilst standing on me HEAD, and THEN post it!!! Voilà, problem SOLVED!!! CHEERS!! Chuckie

And this is why when my family gets all on my case about what a luddite I am I just shrug my shoulders. Technology hates me and the feeling is mostly mutual. How many times has something electronic froze up or even refused to turn on when I am alone with it, and then when I cry out to my husband or my kids for help, they walk into the room and all of a sudden everything is running smoothly. Anything that has a circuit board likes making a fool of me. My avatar as of this moment looks right side up to me. When I was complaining at the top of the page, it looked sideways to me. So now it looks OK to me, but upside down to you. Tell me, what has it looked like all along? Like I'm a crazy person? Posting upside down?
Good thing my stove is about the speed I can handle!

Before the recent change, it was sideways for me, too. Technology is great... when it works!

Look at the positive side – You can always say you cook a lot of up-side-down cakes

OK, I took a new picture. It looks upright to me. How does it look now to you?

Laying on its side, right side at the bottom. Top of the stove is to the right and bottom to the left. Just needs 1/4 turn CCW.

Well, I'm flummoxed. It looks up to me, and I also have zero ideas on how to change it. I just hope that no one thinks I'm sending some cryptic sign. Like the way flying the flag upside down is a distress signal. I'm letting everyone know now, I'm fine, and if I could have all my pictures be right side up I would!

I am not a ‘smart phone’ person (dumb flip phone only) but I have had this type of problem with photos before. If you have a computer, open the photo in a photo processing program. I use a free program called “paint.net”. When the photo opens, it will be displayed in the rotation saved with photo. Rotate photo to correct position and save. Photos have some type of ‘tag’ or ‘handle’ that is added when taken giving it a rotation position.
Something you may want to try if using tablet or smartphone – when you take your photos, make sure it is being saved as a .jpg file. Other type of files like pog and gif sometimes causes problems.
Sorry if this is not much help… it is my 2 cents worth and probably not worth one cent – Good Luck

Thanks Chuckie, but I already have one just like it!! I could try emailing the picture to myself, opening it on the computer and rotating it around, but I'm not sure what to rotate it to. The avatar looks right to me as it is now. Do I rotate so it looks like it's on its side to me? Also, it looked OK to me until recently. Did it ever look right side up to any of you at all? And here's a thought. What about my avatar on the other site? A whole new can of worms to open!!

And here's a thought. What about my avatar on the other site? A whole new can of worms to open!! Try rotating it so that yours looks like it's laying on the stoves left side (1/4 turn counter-clockwise) and posting it as your avatar. Seems that would have it right side up on the board. That's kind of treating the symptom vs. the problem but it'd be worth trying.
Edit: Do the pictures that Chuckie and I posted look right side up to you?

Everyone's pictures and avatar look perfect to me all the time. (especially your new avatar Chuckie! Perfect and hauntingly familiar as well!) I do remember someone somewhere posting that they didn't know why their pictures were coming out upside down, which sounded like my problem except that the pictures looked OK to me, so I just thought they'd found a way to fix it. So was my avatar always crooked or not?
I'm going to try your suggestion, Mach12.

OK, done. To me, my avatar, which was upright a few minutes ago, is now lying on its left side. How does it look to you? The profile section where I did this it tells me that it looks sideways to you too. But it is a liar because it was telling me that it looked upright to you when apparently it was not, so I don't trust it.

It's on its side now, nana, stovetop pointing left.

This is so not fair!!! When it looks upright to me, it's sideways to you. When it looks sideways to me, it looks sideways to you too! Or upside down. In fact, anything but correct. I'm going to try one more thing. Await further developments.

OK. Can you see me now? How do I look? I look fine to me, but down this rabbit hole I've learned not to trust my lying eyes.

Hi Melissaf! You must have been looking at this as I was posting it! I'm right side up at last?? You just made my day! Cross your fingers that it stays that way.
