Hi John. I'm not a moderator and I'm not certain a moderator can change the orientation of the image you chose to use for your Avatar. I doubt it. Where is your image stored? If iPhone you can use the image software on your iPhone to ROTATE the orientation of the picture and then upload the image again. Or, whatever program you are using to view your image (PC, laptop, tablet, etc) you can change the orientation of the image by rotating the image a couple of times until it is right-side-up. Look carefully at your image in the program you're using, there should be some symbols showing a little counterclockwise/clockwise rotation button you click on. Rotate (change the orientation of the image) and upload it again.

John - I captured/saved your image to my PC then I rotated it to the correct orientation if that helps you any. You can download the image I just changed for you and then try to upload it again if that helps you.

You actually need to perform that rotation operation prior to uploading the image. Sometimes the manner in which you perform the rotation depending on the device you're using, will show it correctly orientated and then bam...it's upside down. Depending on the device and program you're using sometimes it seems like voodoo but you'll get it I'm sure.

Basically all I would have done is what the others did. Rotate it in my pc and then repost it. Glad you got it fixed.
