Default Profile pic keeps going sideways?!

Just as the thread says, when I try to add my '69 as my profile pic, the image goes sideways. Any techie out there know why?

It's probably a formatting issue. crop the photo to be square If its not already that way.

and make sure it's the proper size (150 max width & height)

Try opening the picture in a photo editor and then saving it under another name. That will often fix the formatting issue.

To clarify, it was likely because the photo was taken sideways. Cameras, such as iphones, etc., are smart to auto rotate the picture correctly when you review them. However, when sharing and/or posting pictures that information is not always available or used by the receiver to make the same auto rotate.
