The issue is caused by photos taken on phones including a flag in the header which says "This way up". This ensures the photo will display with the correct orientation regardless of whether the phone is in portrait or landscape mode. PC's (and forum software) don't read this flag by default, so some images get displayed with the wrong orientation.
It should be possible to write an extension to deal with this automatically. In fact I'm surprised that nobody has done it yet. I know of open source examples for other software (MIT license, IIRC). A project I was involved with years ago even included it in core.
If anyone wants to have a serious crack at writing such an extension (or even adding it to core) I'm happy to hook them up with relevant examples.
