Upload from computer doesn't post my image straight, it's upside down or rotated the wrong way
If I do it via Imgur then it's fine.
What am I doing wrong?

Nothing you're doing wrong.
Just crap forum software doesn't bother to check the orientation of the photos.
^Exactly what my assumption was.

Rotate your laptop to match...simple.
That's not practical when you're in a toilet cubicle.
Screen rotation on the phone suffices
Been a constant issue in my West US thread
don't care anymore
When I have a photo up the wrong way on my computer, I open it using Window Photo Viewer. Then I rotate the photo to the way I want it, then click Next (right arrow). It then automatically saves the photo to the way you want it. It's quick and easy. Then upload to the forum.
^It's already the right way up in my folder
Anyway I've gone back to hosting them on imgur
Can't upload pics from my home PC, but from my office not a problem.
Dam it.
Said the turtle to the

Most (if not all) modern digital cameras and phones write EXIF data to the picture file. EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format.
In addition to all the bits dedicated to the actual picture, it records a considerable amount of supplemental metadata as well.
This can include date, time, camera settings, rotation orientation and GPS co-ordinates.
The reason that on your computer, phone or tablet the photo appears up the right way, regardless of how you took the photo, is that the software in your viewer is reading the EXIF orientation data and rotating the picture to display it correctly.
Obviously, the forum software viewer isn't reading the EXIF data, and just displays it as it is.
Here's an example of some EXIF data from 2 photos.
Note the different orientation.
It's also likely that lots of photos posted on TD do not contain EXIF data. I don't think any of my photos on TD contain much or any information and the train photo above by Pat (and at least one other photo of his) does not either - apart from the size, dimensions and the resolution, of course.
Maybe some genius on here can tell me why TD is the slowest forum i use, to load. Why it doesn't show most You tube videos Why it is almost impossible to edit out images uploaded.The site has become like molasses. This is 2018 things should be getting faster not slower.And no it is not me as TD (yes i go there) and other forums are OK or better.
Better to think inside the pub, than outside the box?
I apologize if any offence was caused. unless it was intended.

Fookin' knew I shoulda gotten the image for Somchai The Builder elsewhere.
