Emmie - were the first two attempts on Ipad as well.

Overall, I'm trying to find instances where people are having upload issues so that we can tweak if needed. So far it looks like samsung galaxy is having an issue. Can anyone out there with an Android try it out?

I would bet a lot of the issues are people not realizing they have to wait for the file to upload before hitting Submit. Perhaps it's more noticable on mobile devices that are not on WiFi, as the upload may be slower. Is there any way to disable the Submit button while a file is being uploaded?

I did it on an LG G4. No trouble after I realized I needed to let the file upload.

PC+ I.E.

Good point, I'll make a note that we could use a progress bar - this should help with that issue.

Jamie, what Paricleman said, not waiting long enought for the upload. is the same thing I did. I had no problem after I figured out what I was doing wrong. No, not ipPad, desk top.

Use an image editor, and rotate the image in the desired direction.

Samsung Galaxy S6

I tried to upload from Google Chrome and got Specified data is invalid.

Testing on chrome - what version of Windows are you using?

You probably needed to have text in the comment field.

I am on Windows 7. I did have a photo attached but it didn't show. Trying again.

Testing - marksierra - I don't know how to flip an image from an iPhone. Enlighten me please

hauscat, I'm not an iPhone user. I use an image manipulation program on my computer desktop to flip the pictures here. (I download them, manipulate and re-load them.)

However, unless jamie prefers otherwise, this is as good a thread as any to test on.

Take a photo with your iPhone, and note which way the phone was physically oriented. Upload the photo and see which way it comes out. If it needs flipping, try taking another photo, but turn your phone through ninety degrees and try uploading again. Repeat as necessary.

Never had a problem till today. PC & IE

I know - I'm trying to revert back

I only seem to have a problem when I'm starting a new thread.

Trying marksierra' suggestion

Still sideway

...and missing info to boot!

I've been doing some further reading on this. It seems it's a well-known problem, and is related to the way you hold your phone when you take photos.
