Are you holding your phone in portrait or landscape?

Portrait

That's why. Think if it like a camera and hold it landscape and all will be well.

That's why you get those narrow videos sent in to the TV news by eyewitnesses; they're holding it like a phone rather than a camera. Look at the aspect ratio of your TV or computer. Landscape!

Your phone sets a flag with your images to denote the correct orientation to display.

The forum image partner (thumbsnap) ignores this flag which is why your images appear sideways.
