      DizzyDeano96, Cool, but you'll probably get more views if you reorient the pictures.

      Here's an excerpt:

      *snip*

      WANTED!

      FOR MURDER...FOR KIDKNAPPING...
      FOR THEFT AND FOR ARSON

      ADOLF HITLER
      ALIAS
      Adolf Schicklegruber,
      Adolf Hittler or Hidler

      Last heard of in Berlin, September 3, 1939. Aged fifty, height 5ft. 8in., dark hair, frequen ly brushes one lock over left forehead. Blue eyes. Sallow complexion, stout build, weighs about 11st. 3lb. Suffering from acute monomania, with periodic fits of melancholia. Frequently bursts into tears when crossed. Harsh, guttural voice, and has a habit of raising right hand to shoulder level. DANGEROUS !

      *snip*

      In case anybody missed the allusion, the "last heard of" date is the official start of World War II:

      They are portrait when I upload them, then they get turned to landscape

      DizzyDeano96, Yeah, the change in orientation of your pictures is probably because of the CW S&T software which doesn't always play nicely with all photograph sources, especially smart phones and tablets.

      What you can try is to edit your pictures a little bit. Sometimes all it takes is to trim the long sides of the rectangular images just a skosh, and then replace the incorrectly oriented versions with the edited ones.

      FYI, I latterly noticed that I had a typo in my excerpt: "frequen ly" instead of "frequently." That was due to the OCR conversion, and I failed to touch up that little boo boo before I hit "Submit Comment."

      It's almost like it wouldn't be content from me unless there's a mistake in it somewhere. };-)
