Now that's strange, southgirl.

That's so weird! Same with the secret boards. How did you even find out they weren't secret anymore?

I've started trying to get my boards back in alphabetical order. I've only gotten 3-4 done. It will take forever and then who knows when they will get all jumbled again. So far, the few I have in order have stayed today. Wish you could just choose how you want your boards, click that and they all line up that way. :confused::confused::confused: I hate the way my Pinterest looks right now and takes time to find anything I want to see.

I was pretty sure I was seeing old pins and this confirms it. If it wasn't so hard to contact Pinterest I would complain, but I have done so in the past and nothing changes.

They seem to have fixed the problem with boards not 'sticking' after you move them. Had a proper response to my email last night, from a real person, not just a standard form response. May have helped that on getting the standard response for a second time, I got a bit shirty with them! Anyway, a lady called Darlene said the moving problem was fixed, and would I try it out & let her know, so she could escalate it if it wasn't as fixed as they thought it was. tried it and now they stay put, even after leaving the page. Downside is, now I have to re-order all my boards again!

I'm glad you heard something. I had too but now the communication has gone dead. I do NOT understand why they don't have a dropdown that enables the user to put the boards in alphabetical order or numbered order. If the user doesn't want to use it well then they put them the way they want them.

A dropdown for me would make moving the boards a non-issue!

I agree gingerd, it will be a bit time consuming to move them all back to how I want them. What REALLY irritates me is that this was clearly caused by something they did with the software. Why didn't they test it first? Or offer users a chance to test out first as a Beta version? Doing an update without testing is just shoddy workmanship.

I have a question. If I am following a board....and I see ads. And I turn them off. Is that only in my view or the original board too?

I dont get a feed. I just see the board I am following when I open and then move from there to mine if I want to.

When I pin something it is very clear that it pinned-it says so. You should see that?

I've been wondering about blocking ads in places other than my home feed, also. I don't understand if that works or not. I am talking about ads I see when I do a search. For example, if I search for craft rooms, sometimes ads show up there, and usually they have little or nothing to do with craft rooms.

When you open your account you don't go to your homefeed? That is a list of all the pins of the people you follow. Mine used to include what I pinned also, but now it does not. It also used to be only the new pins that people I follow had just pinned, but now it is very old pins, perhaps from years ago. It is one of the things I really am finding frustrating, but as all of Pinterest is frustrating me these days, I find it less and less of a site that interests me. I've been finding Youtube to be more inspiring.


Sorry I wasn't able to answer your questions!
