Terry,
Make it easy to rotate pictures. Seems like when I posted pictures in the past, if the picture was sideways, there was a way to rotate to get the picture straight. The last time I posted an ad my picture was sideways and I couldn't find any way to rotate it. Another member helped me out by using a photo editing software and got my picture straight but it would be nice to have an easy way to do this within the system. This would help not only the classifieds but other threads as well. I noticed the pictures in the Waldrop pac seat thread are sideways as well.
This in an important mod that shouldn't be tough to enact, yet it is.
I had it running a year or so ago and then it crashed the entire forum. A week ago I tried it yet again and once more it totally crashed the system.
All SMF forum mods, including the "rotate images on upload" mod, are written/authored as "add ons" to the core SMF software. The problem with these individually coded mods is that they are never fully tested with all the other hundreds of other SMF mods. As a result, incompatibilities between these different mods can, and too often do, cause problems.
I'm looking into installing the latest SMF forum release on our test system and maybe things will be different in the latest 2.0.18 release and auto image mod will work as it should. I know that's not the answer we all want to hear, but it's the best I can offer right now.
