If I may comment to Richard (site admin), and in response to graham W, in placing events for the musicians playing at The Rose & Crown I have found that the "golden rule" for the picture to appear the right way up is to proportion it so that its width is greater than its height. I hope this helps.

Ok well I do not know how to rectify it as I am a computer ignoramus, so nothing is 'fairly obvious' to me. Thanks anyway.

Kat, yes, it is the ad-blocker. Ad-blockers use a set of rules to block img and div tags, and the images on the ads page conform to those rules. You can indeed edit which pages your ad-blocker works on, but fairly obviously you have to do that - otherwise every website in the world would say "don't block ads on this page"!

Graham, that's a known issue to do with the way that some cameras (mostly those in phones) store images and will be fixed in the New Year when the new version of the site comes online. If you're anxious about any pictures you submit, the easiest way to avoid it for now is to make sure your camera is upright, not tilted through 90 degrees, when you take the picture.

In addition, I wish the advert pictures were the right way up!

Sitting here in Singapore and decided to browse the adverts only to find that I am able to receive the text only - no photos at all. Not sure if this an ad blocked line.

Actually, I can see the text of the adverts just not the pictures that accompany the text, so I don't think the Ad blocker is the problem in this case.

Umm Yes I think so but I thought you it was possible to edit which pages it blocked adverts on??

Have you got an ad-blocker installed? Ad-blockers block adverts... which is a bit of a problem if you're trying to look at the adverts page!
