Eric, You know the situation. But still in the last week you have posted stuff with wrong orientation. How considerate of others is that? How do you ustify that?

It's this rather crappy forum software that's to blame. I recently posted pics of plants for sale and they ended up sideways. The same software that makes me log on the few times that I do nowadays. No reason whatsoever for Ragamala to jump in with snappy personal criticisms. So very tiresome. Ragamala should apologise.

No Peter, it is people who repeatedly refuse to accept the advice given as how to overcome this problem and continue making life difficult for the others on the forum.

Yes you are right. This should have been sorted out ages ago. Are you suggesting a motion of no confidence in the forum administrators? Do we have to wait years until the new web site comes? You tell me Peter. In the meantime I hold individuals responsible for their posts.

There is one Forum Administrator and two Forum Moderators.
If any of you would like to take over my role, then you would be most welcome.

Thanks Ray
I wasn't going to reply to what I could have taken as being offensive. I am not a Northerner .... except only by recently moving here. However, we have thick skins and are hardened to what amounts to jealousy in the rest of the population. Real northern humour is acerbic and often self-deprecating.
Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

If the poster is posting from their phone, using its camera, and auto rotate images is turned on, there's your answer.

I normally read posts like this and say nothing, simply thinking to myself how tetchy folk are sometimes. It's these sort of comments (& worse) in posts that made me fed up with the Forum several years ago and move away. It's only recently that I decided to join in again but it appears that unfortunately not much has changed. Just my own thoughts here but I do wonder if others have read comments over the years and similarly left or have elected not to join due to the bickering which arises with varying degrees of frequency :roll: On this occasion, it's simply over the trivial matter of the orientation of photos, which a member went to the trouble of taking and posting for the benefit of others. I take my hat off to the Administrator and Moderators for their voluntary work and hope for a discussion forum which is interesting, educational, even fun but above all else light-hearted and friendly

Well said Ross. The majority of people here simply want to discuss their plants in a friendly, helpful manner. Unfortunately this is being ruined by a small number who seem to prefer unpleasantness.

I agree, it doesn't give of good vibes of the forum.
