Detailed reviews include:

  • 3+ sections
  • 2,500+ characters
  • 2+ photos

Haha

I WAY exceeded that in all of them. You might call mine SUPER detailed. :) I added sections, wrote way over 2500 characters and added numerous photos.

I’m still waiting for the Oberoi hotels badge or Boutique Hotels badge to be created!

Wow -- I don't know how many people have the blue SPG badge, but it's not many -- congrats!

Haha thanks. I was told that I was the first to receive the blue 25+ badge for any chain/group...and at least at the end of 2017, I was the only one on FT to earn that blue badge. Not sure it matters much to mods, though.

Thank you. Writing the reviews is actually a lot of work, but I consider it a way to pay back my fellow FTers with the added bonus of creating a trip diary.

Some of my pictures are getting uploaded incorrectly - they are getting rotated and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

Are you uploading directly from your mobile device or were they taken in landscape mode? If so, you might try getting them onto your computer/desktop and seeing if they appear normally.

I’m emailing from mobile device to PC, then downloading from Gmail and uploading from there

I am trying to upload photos from my laptop to Expert Review, and get the following error message:

There was an error during the upload:
- Error while moving uploaded file to destination folder: check folder permissions on server side

AFAIK, my settings have not changed, and I didn't get this message before. Anyone know what might be the problem? I don't have this problem when uploading photos to "normal" FT messages.

How many photos did you try uploading at the same time?

Had you rotated the pictures in your phone's camera app? Did you take the photos in landscape and want them in portrait or vice-versa? I tested and the auto-rotation occurred on my PC (which then carried over to FT).

I tried both one and several (three and four) pics at the same time. In the end I answered the AY+ Forum nonsense thread, uploaded the pics there without any problems, copied the inline pics to the hotel review, and then deleted the nonsense reply. That seemed to do the trick.

The issue is with the pictures I took in portrait orientation. They seem to get rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise when I go to post them.

I've tested this just about every way I can think of. The only photos that rotated were ones I had edited on my phone to rotate 90 degrees already (so they ended up just reverting to what they'd originally been). Even then, it rotated on on PC, rather than FlyerTalk rotating it. I believe this is a device issue. Are you taking photos with iPhone or Android?
