How do I disable images from auto-rotating? This problem is on this forum too.

I've seen quite a few complaints about this problem on our MB and elsewhere, and I think it occurs in 5, too. I have no idea how they do it, but a lot of other web sites DO automatically orient the photos properly, so it's obviously NOT impossible.

Yeah, I think that's going to work. With the -auto-orient that I've got in there now, the thumbnail works and the original size works, but the intermediate "lightbox" image doesn't for some reason I don't understand. But what I did was took the sample image and ran the command line IM program on it with only the -auto-orient option, and that image works completely. The only problem is that I don't think there's anywhere to just add the -auto-orient, so it's like Zachery said, we need to find the point just after it's been uploaded and add a call to do the conversion. That shouldn't be too hard, I think it's uploaded to a temp file before anything's done to it.
