I recently noticed a strange charge on my cc statement. When I went to question it, I was notified that the card would be canceled and a new one issued.

I use this card for many repetitive and auto-pay things. Changing all of those would probably take days, so I decided to wait. (Charge turned out to be legit).

I had previously tried to get an extra card that I would only use for online or auto payments, but cc company would issue it. Only one card per family member.

I suspect that many UHH members face the same problem. Any advice on solutions?

It seems like a lot if not most people on this forum have "cut the cable" and I will be joining them shortly. It looks like I can save 60 - 80.00 a month and get what I want from the idiot box. My question is this: Is there a comprehensive list of service providers for programming where I can check what shows/programs they offer and the price of their service? I would like to compare Disney with Youtube for instance. I'm not looking for a service provider, just providers of programs. When I try to look this info up on line, I get a listing of cable providers -- not what I want. I know I could probably go to each provider but would like to have a list. There are most likely some that are not mainstream that could fill in a lot of the programming I would like at less than some of the more advertised sites.
Thanks!

It is my understanding that replies to posts in this section are expected to be not critical of an image and that criticisms of photos are restricted to the “Critique” section where posters solicit negative as well as positive comments. I understand the thinking that such a forum is designed to be a place to display work one is proud of and looking for ego stroking, but it troubles me that 3 pages of “great shots”, “ 👍s” and “well dones” in response to clearly inferior photos may do the poster more harm than good. I’m not talking about subjective analysis of a particular image. Rather I am referring to photos that are unintentionally out of focus, over sharpened to the point where the halos become the subject, unintentional skewed horizons, unintentional color shifts and other technical issues like a tree growing out of the subject’s head” that are NOT subjective. If a member posts a photo he/she is proud of looking for affirmation and experienced photographers clearly see that the image lacks sharpness, commenting “nice set” will not allow the poster to learn how to improve.

Again - I understand the desire to be supportive of such posters and the reluctance to say something “not nice” as my mother warned me not to do, but reinforcing demonstrably poor technique prevents a shooter from improving. I really don’t have a great solution for this problem, other than to say nothing in response to a post. Anyone else see this as a problem preventing growth in photography skills?

Let's have some fun. Be honest and let us all laugh at you. And you can laugh at us.

I will start.

My favorite dumb mistake is setting a shutter timer then NOT immediately resetting it back to normal mode. Invariably next shot or next time I use the camera, I'm wondering what the heck is wrong with my camera and furiously stabbing at the shutter button then click. DOH!!! And having missed the decisive moment, I then set about resetting the shutter to normal mode.

Go ahead. Laugh.

And share your favorite mistakes so we can also laugh.
