I looked into it a while ago, it seems that iOS is embedding flags into the image XIF data that states the rotation of the image. This however does not seem to be set correctly as when the software that creates the thumbnails reads the XIF data it checks the orientation of the image to ensure it resizes correctly for portrait and landscape images, any other device will not suffer with this issue only iOS. My love of apple products is irrelevant, as i cannot control the quality of product they produce nor it's interoperability with other bits of software, this is not just an Apple specific issue as Microsoft have doe a wonderful job of doing the same, therefore keeping me in a job.

Don't know mate, the standard gasket didn't fit. The picture was just a mock up while I wait for 40 (fecking) quids worth of Akrapovic graphite to arrive.

Sounded pretty good without the can though

So why don't my iPhone pics appear upside down on Facebook, Picasso, Twitter and other web sites.

It's not just Apple. The thumbnail is upside down on my Samsung but when you click on it all is normal.

@itchy, the thumbnail is upside down for everyone. The issue lies with the iPhone camera software.

@Monty, Facebook, Twitter, etc have teams of paid developers to work out these issues. I work on Tankslap in my own time, which as you can appreciate, with having kids there's not much of that. Unless I can find details of a fix online it's unlikely I'll have to time to investigate a fix myself.

You never know, Apple may fix the problem properly. Reminds me of the bratty blank posts days.

Stripped and cleaned the rear brake caliper and cleaned and lubed the chain before tensioning it and aligning it.
