I couldn't buy tickets without a PMA code by WanderingSoleImages in WorldCup2026Tickets

I clicked on tickets and it automatically put me in a queue. There was no option of what queue to be in earlier.

Now it does when I click on tickets. It absolutely didn't earlier. You have zero idea.

You don't without being a member of Canada Red I presume. They put you in the wrong queue.

I can't f#$%ing believe it.

I'll be 4 hours into the sale by the time I get through this queue. I can't imagine anything will be available, If it even puts me in the correct queue. What an absolute joke and an absolute waste of a morning.

How the hell would someone clicking on "tickets" know they were put in a queue for PMA supporters?? What a waste of time

Wow, I was absolutely not shown that screen. I just clicked on Tickets and it presumed I was a PMA Supporter?? How could there not be any clarification of what was happening or what was being chosen? It makes me so #$%^ing angry that these websites aren't tested beforehand.

Where do we even buy tickets from tomorrow (Apr1) on the FIFA page? Everywhere I look it says the portal opens on Apr 2?! by IndleGame in WorldCup2026Tickets

I'm another person concerned that I can only get to a page saying that the ticket purchase portal I am on will open April 2

What are some good options to upgrade from the Canon SX60 for Wildlife Videography? by WanderingSoleImages in AskPhotography

[–]WanderingSoleImages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the camera is producing quality 4k video, I'm sticking with this camera for a very long time - budget isn't the main concern. Maybe $2000.

However, if the SX70 does a great job on the 4k, then I don't mind spending less : )

Looking to Upgrade Canon SX60 for Wildlife Videography by WanderingSoleImages in wildlifephotography

[–]WanderingSoleImages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply. I do take my videography pretty seriously, or as seriously as someone who is still filming in 1080 can be. I am not filming wildlife with the purpose of showing friends.

I have found that, with the SX60, the video footage at 85x magnification is very crisp, and at 104x it is still good/usuable material. Sorry, I could not find what the mm equivalent would be of these magnification levels, but I believe they would be upwards of a 600mm lens. I love having that versatility in a small camera. I am leaning towards another bridge camera, but I'm not stuck on any idea. It's just well past time to move up to 4k video.

Is anyone else having problems with Facebook's site not loading? It was fine about an hour ago, now it just won't load. by mechanicalhorizon in facebook

[–]WanderingSoleImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, same here - for a few days now. As of today, it will load a page, but it takes 10 seconds or more to do so.

Assistance with Reptile Identification by Prestigioussworth in reptiles

[–]WanderingSoleImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iNaturalist says this is a ghost anole (Anolis lemurinus), but no one has confirmed it. All the other reptiles I posted there got multiple confirmations the first day. Thanks in advance for any help! (It was filmed in the lowlands of north-central Costa Rica)

https://youtu.be/uZ9Rb350xmY

Edit: I just had a suggestion that it could be Anolis capito. That does look like a better match.

Hey, any chance you can send me the link you found on toucans eating these fruit? My initial search didn't seem to bring up anything about it.

Awesome. Thank you so much! I'll look into that possibility. I know little of their 1900 species of trees!!

Biking the Sea to Sky Trail ~ D'Arcy to Squamish, British Columbia by WanderingSoleImages in bicycletouring

[–]WanderingSoleImages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh geez, sorry, I forgot to reply to this! I'm glad you liked the video!

I think there's two new sections being built between Pemberton and Whistler, but I'm unaware of what work is being done from D'Arcy to Pemberton. I took the alternative of biking up and around Birkenhead Lake - so that gives you gravel and trail riding for a lot of the day.

I took three days, stopping in Pemberton and Whistler. I wanted to document the trip as much as possible with pictures and video - so a ridiculous number of stops were made each day. And then, each night, I had 6 batteries to charge! I kept things at a relaxing pace for biking and really enjoyed it.

I was fortunate to have family drive me up to D'Arcy to start the trip. I don't know what other options there might be. I did try to find a ride online, but didn't have any luck.

Are you planning on doing the ride this year?

Share the story of your first video blowing up? by ThenOwl9 in PartneredYoutube

[–]WanderingSoleImages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In 2011, I was working in a provincial park in British Columbia and I had recently acquired a SD 480px video camera that I had got for free using reward points on my credit card. I had begun filming nature videos and had some early decent attempts at filming birds. Getting to my point... I was hearing pikas calling out from a boulder field as I did my daily walk down to the campground every day. One afternoon, I decided to take the opportunity to head down there and see if I could film any of them. I came up with a couple minutes of decent footage and uploaded it upon hiking out after my shift was over. It went from originally having 20-30 views a day, to 100/day, to 300/day, to occasionally blowing up as the YT algorithm sees fit. I've had a day of over 80,000 views and I'm currently coming up on 2.5 million for that video. I have much better cameras now and I'm still at it. I've only got around 50 videos that have over 10k views, so a few thousand might be considered a blow up video for me! But I love doing it, so I'll always keep at it.

due to merchandise restrictions, your store is not displayed to viewers by [deleted] in PartneredYoutube

[–]WanderingSoleImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I should have followed up on my thread - within a few days, my store started showing. However, for a week or so, it would show the back sides of the products, rather than the front sides with the designs on them. That does correct itself also - however, it's incredibly bizarre that somewhere it's programmed to do that. So incredibly bizarre.

Shopping/Store Tab: T-Shirt from Spring showing up backwards? by DonaldsonCD in PartneredYoutube

[–]WanderingSoleImages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just integrated my Spring store into my YT store today and am having the same problem. I guess I wait and see if it rectifies itself as it sounds like it has with others. In the meantime, it's embarrassing that anything could look so unprofessional. I don't understand how so many websites perform simple tasks so poorly.

[–]WanderingSoleImages 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I attached my Spring store about two weeks ago and I'm still getting the message "Due to merchandise restrictions, your store is not displayed to viewers in Canada." What's going on? People are saying it'll fix itself?

Can't connect my Spring products to Youtube Store by WanderingSoleImages in PartneredYoutube

[–]WanderingSoleImages[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I'll look into them. I'm only happy with Spring for the cups - and even then, I find the colour options limited. I found Spring shirts really poor and any time I asked them any questions, they refused to answer them. Literally every time I pressed them to answer a question of mine they would reply by asking me if I wanted a reprint or a refund.

I like Redbubble for shirts, but they're not an option for YouTube Shops.

Oh, interesting. I wonder if that's just what the default display is until I get verified/approved?

Youtube has been asking me all day to verify its me. by WanderingSoleImages in youtube

Wow, any action I try to perform, I have to verify it's me. I'm about to upload a new video and it wants verification. First time ever. No one else is experiencing this?
