The actual image data on those photos are stored with the image sideways. There's an EXIF tag that says to rotate the image 90 degrees clockwise when displaying, which most image viewers seem to be honoring. However, it appears that the forum is just barfing the pixels directly on the screen without looking at the EXIF data.
I recall that this forum software is pretty old. Maybe it pre-dates the widespread use of EXIF.
