How do I rotate images, so people don't have to turn their heads sideways?

Ooh, 100th post -- finally a full member after only 5 1/2 years. Perhaps I should be more loquacious.

Thanks so much for the photo updates, George. I am sure a lot of people will appreciate the photos. Sometimes, people contact me asking questions they are shy about asking themselves online, so these will answer some queries.

I have one more...

George, did you abandon drop handlebars/levers when you switched to the Hope hydraulics? Or do you use a slave actuator/remote reservoir with cable actuation? As I recall (perhaps incorrectly), your Nomad started with drops.

Thanks!

All the best,

Dan.

I selected the photos en masse on one of my Windows PCs (7 Ultimate in this case) and rotated, then saved them. I then reduced the images for faster loading and to fit the screen using Image Resizer for Windows. I then selected them individually and uploaded below.

Sadly, there is an anomaly in the Small Machines Forum software that doesn't readily allow substitution of photos once the maximum of 4 per post have been uploaded. Otherwise, you could simply have edited your post to upload the rotated images (or I could have done so for you). When posting, you can substitute other photos, but once the cake has been baked, you're out of luck. Once four images have been uploaded, the only option is to deselect them.

  Congratulations on your "century of posts"; it has been nice having you aboard, George.

All the best,

Dan.

For future reference, I could look at the bigger photos on my screen by pressing control/minus <the minus key> several times.

Yep! A handy and worthwhile reminder, George. 

Also depends on the browser and also on whether a mobile platform (i.e. tablet, smartphone) is used.

We used to have a posting limit for attachments, set by the software. That has changed in the latest software version but file sizes generally something below about 500MB/photo seems to work pretty well.

All the best,

Dan.

Do you mean 500 kb?  500 meg is pretty big, bigger than any camera I can afford.

For posting photos, I usually photo reduce photos down to 20 percent of original size, then usually less than 500 kb.

Yes! Good job, George.

The Nomad has always been straight bars. I bought it strictly for off-road use, and my usual Nitto Noodles didn't seem like the answer.
