I have tried several times to post picture of my car as avatar. But it always shows up upside down! Picture taken with I phone. How do I turn it over?

You took it with your phone, but it's in your computer, right? I'd try editing the pic in your file (or make a copy to edit) and rotating THAT pic till it's upside down. Then upload that upside down pic as your avatar and see if it works. No guarantee!

It's going to have to wait till I get help. No matter what it comes in upside down.

Turn the car upside down and take another picture.....

So when your pic is right side up, the avatar shows upside down. But when you rotate the pic so it's upside down and upload that to the forum, it's STILL upside down?

I had same problem, my avatar was sideways and couldn’t fix it, left it that way for months. I went back to it and tried all kinds of things I got it right finally but I can’t remember how. Keep at it, it will spin around.
