Default problem with avatar

Maybe a dumb question but... I wanted to change my avatar photo so after selecting the one I wanted from my laptop and up loading it always saves upside down. I have tried turning it over on the laptop and uploading it again but it is still upside down. All the other photos on the laptop save correctly if uploaded. Any thoughts?

Upside down pictures are the result of taking the picture with the camera phone held upside down. Some applications, especially the photo app built into the camera, read the picture orientation and will adjust for it. Some websites will also read the data from the picture and make the correction but not every website do that. CorvetteForum does not.

You will need to either A) Take the picture right side up or B) Edit the picture's orientation with your own photo editing utility or C) Post the picture here and someone will correct it for you.

Microsoft Paint is installed on my desktop PC. It will let you rotate an existing pic and save it.
