Luanne Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I found out about it a few months ago. Awesome eye candy and great for doing research as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selkie Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Yikes - this all sounds scary - so I should be glad that I've not ever been able to log into it? I gave in and signed up once after hearing such rave reviews but, in spite of password reset requests, etc. I've never gotten it to log in for me. Sounds like I should praising the heavens for being protected from this new addiction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I used to be able to look at and explore Pinterest to my heart's content without having to join, but lately a transparent window opens over the lower half of the page that doesn't have any means of removing that gives me options to join or join, so I've stopped looking.

chesterfieldzoo Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I always found pinterest kind of a puzzle. I couldn't understand the fascination. I have a page and I use it for a bulletin board of sorts. I only save recipes I will actually cook - not ones that look good - and I regularly go through and delete ones I have tried and didn't like. I find most people's pages to be overcrowded mishmashes of duplicate posts. Don't they ever look at them to delete the duplicates? But still, there are a ton of cool things to see.

Kari Lynn Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hi Art. I joined Pinterest awhile ago but have not run across this particular page, there's lots to look at. Thanks for the link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyole Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I browse it for DIY tutorials. It is exciting when I see a GL forum member's work pinned. It can be overwhelming and I have to take it in small doses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet2Dawn Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 It is a great place for resource pictures, and sharing interesting pictures of ideas and antiques and the like. I do have some miniatures in a folder there, kind of like a wish list or an if I ever get that good I could try that list. Enjoy Pinterest!

CheckMouse Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I joined and have a page, or whatever it is, but haven't really gotten into it. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, although I sometimes go just for eye candy or inspiration. My DIL loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shareb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This is another great page on pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/foxyloxy3/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyGunn Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I found this forum through Pinterest. Started with one miniatures board, and ended up sorting them into seven (so far) more manageable categories. Here's my Tutorials/Printies board, with multiple links to Greenleaf posts or pictures and members' blogs: http://www.pinterest.com/ladygunn/dollhouse-miniature-tutorials-printies/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseymini Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 MJ, I keep getting a 'cannot open page' sign for some reason. It says that the address is invalid. At one point I joined and un-joined all in one day. I didn't have any desire to collect things. I just like to look. Holly, when they did that to the screen I had a hard time re joining. I did so, but I don't pin anything. If I am interested in something, I just save it on my iPad. You don't have to start a board to be a member.

havanaholly Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It will depend on how much information they want. I used it for ideas and for the paperdoll collections, so the popup is really annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caseymini Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Holly, as I remember, it was my e mail addy and creating a password. No personal stuff. And so far I haven't gotten any nuisance e mails from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I tried it before I went in the hospital and all they wanted was email and password. There were options to select a bazillion categories of interests but it was not required. I just can't get mine to work. I've reset the password about a dozen times and still can't get into it. I guess it's a good thing in the long run - I don't really need something else to waste my time. I'm an expert time waster without someone else's assistance. sigh ...

havanaholly Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 They also wanted some other info, but took what I gave them. Thank you, I am basically a very paranoid person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I can and do get lost in Pinterest for way too much time! There is so much to see! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shareb Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The reason you may not be able to get your Pinterest working may be the web browser you're using. I know that with one or two sites I cannot used Internet explorer and instead have to use Chrome. You could always try changing and see if it makes any difference.

I don't know what to tell you, beside try as Shareb suggested and use another browser. I basically use Pinterest as easier-to-use bookmarks. I've had tons of recipes saved in my bookmarks before and then my old computer died and they were all gone. (Of course, now I have a Chrome account, so my bookmarks should be there no matter what computer I log in on.) Except my geek board - that one is to just collect things that make me laugh and geek out and make friends laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caseymini Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 MJ, it works for the rest of Pinterest. Just not that URL. It says that the address is invalid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
