You and Abe copied and saved an image from the interweb. I am posting from the original picture file (or copy of it).
As far as I can establish picture files created on a phone contain a flag as to orientation ( EXIF format). This flag appears to remain irrespective of how the view of the file is manipulated on the phone or in a subsequent copy on another computer. So when I post on AA the flag is recognised by the Asylum software and the image is displayed as it was taken i.e. upside down. Now it is difficult with a phone when taking a picture in landscape format to judge which was is the right way up in regard to the phone's inbuilt convention as to up and down.
So the solution for me when selecting a file reference for the AA message box is to post a picture that was taken the right way up originally (as far as the phone is concerned with its convention as to top and bottom).
