That server admin is me, unfortunately. Does Invisionboard strip EXIF data from photos uploaded (I know there is a setting to strip sensitive data)?

There's nothing special about it, just AWS Linux 2023 with PHP, MariaDB, Redis and the other required software InvisionBoard requires. Very basic setup since 2009.

@Jim M He posted some images that were sideways. They posted fine in your test forum, although I can't see it. Given I moved to a new OS with all new packages installed, some being the latest or near latest version. What other things should I be looking for to debug this?

@Jim M He says he signed out and signed back in and still gets that same 250kb error.

@Jim M I add the owner's account to my alternative account. He is still getting the 250kb error. Do you need to remove him from he "Friends" group?

@Jim M Thanks, that makes sense. I just added him, so I'll see if he can post and reproduce the issue.

@Jim M Thanks, the usename is mckay1970

@Jim M This is the error he is getting when he tries to post to Invisioncommunity's test forum. I really want to try to reproduce on your site.

@Marc @Jim M I migrated the site to a brand new OS with all new packages installed, the latest or very near versions of the latest software such as PHP, MariaDB, and so on. The problem still persists. How can the site owner to tests uploads here on your community site? He posted on the test forum that you suggested but got a response that the file size is too big (forget the exact message).

It is sideways.

It post fine on our site when I upload it.

Photo sent through email and text look fine.

I don’t have an Android device. The photo looks fine on his phone. It gets rotated when uploaded to the site, even in thumbnail preview. Tried both GD and Imagemagick, same results.

Also, today I switched from GD to Imagemagick and he has the same issue with some photos being sideways.

Sorry to confuse you. He can’t upload to your test forum because he gets a file upload size error. So I can’t confirm it works here.

Thanks, he got a size limit when he tried to post the photo. I have a little more into today. He always takes photos up and down, portrait. The images are large. He cropped one today that was not working and it worked. I’m not sure what that says?

Perfect, I will have the owner try to post there.

@Marc Is there a place for the owner to upload the same photos on this community forum? Is there a test forum for this sort of thing?

@Marc The owner asked that question early this morning. People responded that they don't have any issues. He only takes portrait photos, so I am confused why some would be rotated to landscape. The ones that get rotated are sideways. 4 out of 5 pictures he posted today were sideways. Not sure if it is the sensor on his camera? EXIF data? Very odd problem for sure.

That did not fix it.

They look correct on the device before it gets uploaded. Others have reported the issue. I know the site owner has no issues posting to other places like Facebook or Instagram, just Invision.

In editing mode, it’s incorrect and sideways as well.
