Something is up with this site where it will turn your pic sideways even though it's not that way on your phone. I found a way to fix this. On your phone, before you try to upload a pic, go to the pic, hit edit, turn the pic around so it's sideways and save it. Then change it back to straight, save changes. It will now upload straight on this site. At least, it's worked for me in the past.

just depends on the device. computer works fine everytime.

It's not the device; it's the size of the picture that causes the issue. Anything over 800 pixels on either size will post sideways or upsidedown.

Actually, it only appears sideways in preview. If you click through and look at it full size, it'll be right side up.

I dunno about the 800 pixel business. pics from my camera are 2032 x 1524 and they post ok

It has nothing to do with image size. It's the way devices handle exif data within the image. A resize or even a quick crop fixes the issue but its a PITA. It is a known problem on many forums and sites.

Right, but the issue occurs when the site tries to resize the images. If you resize them yourself, you'll never have an issue.

That's how it's worked for me, anyway. No matter what device I upload from--PC, laptop, or iPhone--if I don't resize it 800 pixels or less, it won't work.

Of course, I understand not everyone has the ability to quickly resize images to a specific size.

No matter how you slice it, it's a pain in the butt sometimes!
