Ive posted a couple photos in quick reply to other posts and one was sideways and the other was upside down. They look normal when I select them. Can anyone give me some tips? Tks,
I assume you took the photos using a mobile phone, or other mobile device?

Yes, I took the pics with an iPhone
This happens because the forum software is unable to read the EXIF data that is imprinted on the photo when you take it.
The EXIF data holds a lot of information, which includes orientation of your photo. Many programs are able to read this, and that is why you see it displayed upright in some places, but many others still are not.
This is a good article that explains all of this: https://www.howtogeek.com/254830/why-your-photos-dont-always-appear-correctly-rotated/
The gist of it is, the phones are designed to work like a digital camera. Holding your digital camera flat, in landscape, is the 'base line'. Developers used this 'base line' in the following way for mobile devices:
There is not currently any plugins or hacks that we've come across that can allow the forum to read the EXIF data at this time.
The only way around it is, either hold your phones the way the developers decided you should, OR you can open the photos in an Editing program (not the viewer), and save them in the correct orientation (you might need to rename them, and crop off a pixel or two, to make sure a change is recognized).
Hope that helps!

- Apple users: hold your phone with your VOLUME buttons DOWN.
- Android users: hold your phone with your HOME button to the RIGHT.

Thanks Gerritt, thats great info. It seems pretty easy to edit a photo’s orientation in the apple photos app. I’ll give it a try next time. I’ll also remember to hold my phone with the vol buttons toward the bottom in the future. Thanks again.
