Hi - We're having intermittent forum issues. Posts, alerts, and anything involving email like signing up or password changes are having problems but not for everyone or everywhere. Josh is working on it. No ETA right now. Thanks Josh - BTW this is a volunteer forum so SLA's are just best effort.
EDIT -> I manually batch updated about 25 people stuck on the email notification. Try logging in now with your password.
EDIT -> May 8/23. I updated another bunch of users stuck on email notifications. Try to login if you are stuck.
If you really can't get in contact us on facebook or if you know a forum member get them to ask us.
Okay thanks Josh. I did try to use that button for image URL but no matter how many different hand gestures I tried on my iPad I was not able to get that box to come up. This might just mean that it doesn't work from iPad unless somebody knows. Either way I will try it again some other time.

Sounds good, I'll see if I can get my hands on an Ipad to do some testing too.
Actually, if anyone notices functionality not working on their devices, let me know, I have never actually done any cross device / cross browser compatability testing on the site.
I've been using it with great success. It basically automatically rotates images and removes the hidden iphone rotation data, so images always upload everywhere right way up.
It adds right click menu items when you click on a folder containing .jpg images:
When Installing, I recommend using these settings:
This means when it's done it will not sit there asking you to "hit any key to close this window", and will automatically regenerate the thumbnails that show in your computer to reflect the actual image rotation. (Helpful if you help your phone sideways, but the phone did not detect that it was sideways before you took the picture.)
For anyone that is having issues with image upload, this is an easy fix you can implement, as I have pretty much given up hope of resolving the sideways images at the forum software level.
Well I looked at the site for that program. I guess that program actually uses another program called jhead to do the work. That program is a command line program eg:
jhead -autorot image.jpg
Would it be easy to add a post processing step to the image upload in xenforo? And basically call that command line above for every image. I'm wondering if it would correctly rotate all photos regardless of orientation- it sounds like it might.
It never struck me to use this software for forum postprocessing, hopefully this worked, that would be a huge thorn in the side, removed, as I truly had given up hope of resolving that issue.
It appears the autorate is also stipping all exif data from jpgs uploaded too, which is great for privacy purposes.
it seems to be working. these test images look ok on my computer and on the iphone. can you do a batch 'update all' command for all pictures to fix the old ones? Assuming the pictures are in a tree of directories. something like brute force:
jhead -autorot *.jpg
jhead -autorot */*.jpg
jhead -autorot */*/*.jpg
etc.
not elegant but might work just fine. Maybe make backups first...
It's a good thought. After looking into it, this forum converts all images into a .data format for storage, and live translates that back to .jpg when being used. As such, I do not know how we can edit historical photos with this scripting, as it's all meant for .jpgs.
