my neck is sore looking at sideways photos...how can I rotate them to view properly? there has to be a simple way to do this.
thanks for any suggestions.

Do you have access to Microsofts Paint program. This is a great free program that can rotate, draw arrows, cut etc.

Check your owners manual. Some say swap front to back, others say swap front to back and switch sides.

Oh, wait... never mind...

Do you use an Apple Mac or a PC? If you use a PC, the Microsoft paint program mentioned above is built into Windows and will allow photo rotation and other simple editing. If you use a Mac, it has iPhoto built in. I don't know the Mac capabilities (I'm a PC user), but I would imagine it will allow you rotate photos also. Don't want your Model A upside down or sideways

The issue is that the photos load sideways into FB, but not consistently.

You could try to rotate what you upload so that when ends up in FB, it is right side up, but that would be trial and error. I have not tried to fix it when it happens to me. The uploader in FB is such a pain, that I have little patience for trying to make it turn out right. Others have resolved the problem. I just need to learn how to do it.

Are you talking about photo you take or ones on Fordbarn? Are you viewing on PC or hand held device? I don't know about hand held devices, but most every photo I look at here on my PC is correct orientation.

I am referring to posted photos in FB. I am on a PC laptop, don't really want to get into photo editing programs just to view an item in the Swap Meet.
Why aren't the photos just posted upright? can't the FB bosses just have vertical positioning as a default? yow

FB program DOES NOT KNOW what orientation the photos are meant to be, that is up to the original poster to do them right. Very often photos loaded from some hand held devices are the ones that are side ways or even upside down.

Suggestion; How about posting a couple of links to ads you are seeing sideways to see if we all see them as you do.

I take a photo, probably mostly with my iPhone and load it onto my computer. They are all right side up. When they end up on FB they may be right side up or sideways. I have never had one go upside down.

Sep 1: Mount a "lazy susan" to wall, back of desk, or what have you.
Step 2: Attach monitor to "lazy susan"
Step 3: rotate screen as needed
