As for this happening only with large size pictures, that's not true. I've had to rotate images smaller than 1MB here and I've seen images larger than 5MB oriented correctly.
For me, it's an aesthetics issue. If your photos are turned on their side, even though when downloaded they will orient correctly, it still makes the original post look sloppy, which makes the site look like it's frequented by members who don't care what their posts look like.
I learned how to rotate my pictures several years ago through trial and error after I saw some of my posts looked like shit. Here is what I do:

I'm sure if you Google the problem for other devices, someone in the ether has the answer. |
Okay, a few more points and then it's on to more important things.
- I think the aesthetics of my post were better before you deleted my image. I always try to position 2 landscape or 2 portrait oriented thumbnails next to each other, and deleting one image totally botched that sequence giving the post a scattered, disjointed appearance.
- Every piece of software I can think of displays my "improperly rotated" image above with the correct orientation, with the exception of OCC.
- I did not create the improperly rotated thumbnail, OCC did. In one case it got it correct (low res version) and in another it did not (high res version). All post processing of the low and high res versions is equivalent, exclusive of the resolution at which is was downloaded from Flickr, and yet OCC is not consistent in the way it creates thumbnails. That suggests a problem with OCC's handling of the image, rather than a problem with the post processing of the image.
- I am 99% certain that I'm correct in saying that another BB I frequent, Redclouds Explicit BB, which is also based on vBulletin, used to have the same problem. It was eventually corrected on that site. So I'm fairly certain that vBulletin's customer support could help you guys to fix it too, should you care to do so.
Flickr has recently increased the maximum resolution of images that they accept, and since a large portion of the images on OCC come from Flickr, and at least in some cases the issue seems to be related to high resolution which everyone likes, it seems that this will become more of an issue as time passes.
In my opinion asking users to tweak images that work fine pretty much anywhere else is bad policy on OCC's part, as it makes your site less user friendly which could deter some from posting here.
Thanks for your time, and I won't continue to pester you over this.
