Can someone advise how I post photos and is there a like symbol if someone makes a comment or post I like so I can just do a like.
Thank you.

The thumbs up etc on right when you click reply.
For pics select attachment, file and find on your system, when the green bar finishes select place inline.

See you managed to post your
picture 
It always seems to favour landscape so pics end up rotated, I sometimes crop them to keep orientation but I'm sure someone will chip in in and suggest a simpler method.

There seems to be a bit of an issue
posting photos directly from a phone, it seems to assume that all images are not only Landscape, but also taken Right Handed, so the image is saved to the phone with that configuration.
I usually post from my PC, having transferred the photos to is. I find it's easier than trying to use the Forum on a phone small screen.
I think you're right, you need to Edit in some way to make the metadata attached to the image overwrite the basic settings the phone attaches to it.

I don't have a pc, I'm working from a tablet which uses android, so no different than my phone. Cropping the
picture to change its size is the only way I've found. Even if I rotate the
picture and save it the forum flips it back. I assume it looking for the size of the pic to decide its orientation. It would be nice to have rotate as a choice as well as inline.
