Not Sure there were anyother options

My iPhone 7+ puts the volume button down with the camera and home buttons on the right, while looking at the screen. You can take a pic with either your left thumb on the volume button, or the camera button.

No, I think the forum software is just old. I agree, you should do a test. Home button to the right should do it, if that article writer guy knows what he's talking about.

ok, we will do it tomorrow. Gotta study for a CT test tomorrow

I feel for you, I have worked on Android a few times, and it's the main reason I don't own one.

I was reading Timmy's post and I never put my volume buttons down, I always put them up as that puts the camera button on the right, and I'm right handed.

I change the orientation though...

This $#!T is supposed to be easy...it never is...I'll have to try and flip my iphone around in landscape mode and see if that doesn't fix the problem of having to change the orientation.

I agree, all my boys have apple phones and we are continually having challenges exchanging photo"s/attachs etc. May have to make a move from android. Problem is mama is now familiar with hers and that is a painful transition to another phone

so just to be sure, would you recommend I select my camera auto rotation feature or no? I assume so or I would not capture a landscape photo. Sorry for such a basic question....

I have no earthly idea. I don't know much about smart phones. I just google everything.

Crap, you're right...yeah, I guess with the button on the right side, the volume buttons are down...

I often have orientation problems though, but that might be InstaGram, yet another useless interface that will only allow the phone to be in portrait mode...

On InstaGram you can change the orientation by editing the pic after you select it. I don't get it, orientation change is supposed to be tablet/phone programming 101. Shouldn't be so hard to get it right and/or have major apps not support it.

EDIT: it's the browser where the button are on top...

used this 'base line' in the following way for mobile devices . . .

Apple users - Android users - It's completely against common sense . . .

. . . I do all my forum-ing on a laptop, so there's really nothing to it . . .

Reading the instructions is the last resort of the incompetent - it's a Dick Thing -

Thanx for confusing - 'I know how to do this' - with definitive specifications . . .

Are you trying to piss-off everybody on this forum?

[geezer]

Took a long time but done. Deck stained, caps added to 4x4 and handrails. I think they look fine for us (77 plus on this end), especially when I consider bottomline was right around $500.00 We opted for painting here, I simply put on a POR 15 basecoat, then top coated with rattle can. Survived the winter ok and passed the grandkids test. Much of the material was on hand, but if I would have seen metalman handrail post first, probably would have made many changes. Just thought II would post and tie up some lose ends.

Trying to upload pics

[geezer]

Two more pics, but not sure it is orientated correctly

[geezer]

would an admin type please delete pic in post 39, thanks. Working to get the pics orientated correctly

[geezer]

Thanks Sam

Tried to post pics, kept reversing upside down. I even reorientated from PC. Maybe its an android thing but more than likely its operator error.

Now I cant delete pic, will one of you smart guys please delete pic, or preferably reverse like Sam did, thanks

Metal, and wood, is always a nice mix if done well

[geezer]

Thanks Sam, no brilliant design from me, but we like the looks. Just had 1x2 and 1x1 tube left over and wanted to make use of it. Come to find out handrail fabricator in the area commonly uses same size material. I do see the benefits using solid uprights, so we drilled holes in hopes of avoiding a rusted mess. However, we are now pushing 4 score so I imagine it will see us out.

Going to alter step handrail by adding another horizontal run with vertical pickets. At least the handrails passed the wrecking crew test {three grandsons under 10}.

Have followed your posts over the years with pleasure. Back when you built the flatbed

much obliged
