I'll see if I can duplicate. It was a really, really long post, so that might have been part of the problem. :P

I recently posted a pic that for some reason is displayed upside-down :look:
It's an image inside a spoiler tag, here.
I posted from my phone, if it makes a difference

I'm not gonna lie, this has thrown me for a loop. I may have to make a "Provided the wierdest thing Deoan has seen this week" badge... I'll keep picking on it, though.

No, that's the weird thing. Right click and "Open image in a new tab". The linked image is right side up. The image in the spoiler is *rotated* 180 degrees. I'm gonna be doing some testing to see if I can replicate, because I've been going through the front end code and haven't found the cause yet.

Defen posted in the thread.
The EXIF data embedded in that image says "rotate 180 degrees", so the browser's doing exactly that. I'm guessing the phone thought it was upside-down when the photo was taken. Not sure why Chrome's rotating it inline but not when viewed separately, but "upside-down" is probably technically the correct way to render it.

Confirmed that that was it, that's cool. Glad I didn't spend any more time picking at the code.

This was what threw me off too. And I know there's no weird things happening with my hosting server, since I control that

Looks like it's a Chrome/Webkit thing. It reads and honors the EXIF orientation field for inline images, but not when they're displayed. Seems to be a really, really old bug (like from 2010, but I guess still not fully fixed).

The last few times I have tried using the Quote Messages feature or the Reply to a specific post thread the site has crashed in the middle of me typing out the response. It has happened on both my phone and my tablet. They are both Samsung Androids and I use Chrome for my Internet.

Help?

So how do I work around this so that when I post images they don't get rotated when in spoilers? Are there settings I can edit somewhere?

Elania: basically, you'd need to use an EXIF editor, or strip the EXIF metadata off with a program, or upload it somewhere that does that for you (like many image hosting sites). It's a good idea to do that anyway, because some phones save the coordinates that the pictures are taken at (not all, but some).

Here's an article on Gizmodo about it, and how to remove them on a windows PC: http://fieldguide.gizmodo.com/remove-location-data-from-your-photos-before-sharing-th-1593773810

There are some apps that will do it on the phone, but I've only used one and can't make a recommendation on behalf of TV.net for one.

Belgareth, I haven't gotten any other reports of that happening. If you could email technology@tarvalon.net with links to a few of the threads you're watching which aren't notifying, I can take a look to see if I can tell what's happening.

Narysse, I haven't been able to replicate, nor has my wife who almost exclusively uses Chrome on a Samsung phone. I'll keep trying, though, to see if I can tell what's happening. Standard advice, though, would be to make sure no add-ons or ad-blockers are causing it, to clear the caches, and not hold open too many tabs or other apps. Also, make sure they're both up to date.

So I can no longer log in on mobile:

So for the record, I have tried restarting my phone. I am able to log in on my laptop or desktop with safari, chrome, firefox, and internet explorer. (and have been able to log in on other people's desktops/laptops just fine) But I get the ""the requested user could not be found" when I try to log in on my iPhone on safari or on my son's iPad... or on my husband's Galaxy S8 (using whatever browser those crazy android phones use). So it seems to happen ONLY on mobile devices. Weird, right?


Help??

When I log in I get the same message, but I'm still logged in. I just have to navigate to a different page. Have you tried going to a different page afterwards? It might just be a problem with the login landing.

Thanks for trying but no. I can't get past the sign in page. And since 'user can't be found' it won't let me see any of the forums other than those that guests can see.

Occasionally, it shoots me to the page where you create a new username and password as if you're going to sign up as a new member, but I can't get further than that. it's super frustrating because clearly, I do exist... just not on mobile :grumble

So this is a weird one. Normally on my phone when I double tap the space bar I get a period then a space. It's reversed here for some reason .so then my posts end up looking like this .which is really annoying .

Thoughts?

I always seem to have images not display properly for me, if I'm the one who posts them.

I can see every other image.

I can just see a blank tag, and that makes it very hard to tell if it actually is displaying my image to everyone else.

What gives?
