I know I pinned a layout here at TLP before but am I going nuts or blind? I cannot see a Pinterest button on layouts? I let my mouse hover over this page and still nothing. Do I have to use my own button from my computer toolbar?

This is an example of not seeing a Pin button on this layout.

It depends on what browser you are using!

You *should* see a Pin button in the top left corner when your hover your mouse over the image.

However, when I was using Safari (on an iMac) to pin things from here, the Pin button was very unreliable, as was the pin button in my brower toolbar. Sometimes it appeared, most times it didn't.

I have switched to using Chrome & I see the Pin button all the time now, no problems.
 
I get a little "pin it" on the far left top corner but I have to move my mouse up there to get it. Even if you pin the thumbnails it will at least bring you to the gallery list and you can click from there. I don't know if there's been an update to pinterest or anything like that. But you could check that too.

Yeah what Melanie said about Chrome. Didn't think of mentioning that.
 
Like Melanie, my pin button disappeared from time to time on Safari. I just refresh the page, and it appears again if I hover. :)
 
As soon as I updated to windows 10 my pin it button disappeared, have tried to get it back , but it doesn't download properly, despite me trying on the old explorer too.
on an android device it works no problem . Crome is useless to me because I messed up the settings, and it started a new account for me, now I am scared to delete that ( same name and nr ) in case I also delete my proper one.....
If I want to pin from here on my laptop, I have to have my pinterest page open , say add new pin, choose from web, enter the url , click on the image, again choose the category and finally it is pinned.... sooo I wait till I am on the kindle and pin from there, since it has a share option that includes pinterest, unlike explorer and edge . Yes
please get the button Laura LOL
 
Thank you all...I have stuck with Safari after divorcing Firefox last year and really really dislike Chrome. I am happy to refresh the page and even happier to know that I didn't dream the button or lose even more of my marbles.

Click to expand...

No, all your marbles are still with you... or you and I both lost ours and they're hanging out together somewhere cuz I too lost the Pin button. It worked... and then it didn't. But I'm having trouble with another one of my add-ons so IDK what to do. I love Firefox, though. No divorce for us. I blame Windows 10 for my add-on troubles.

The customized Pin It button will be cool, though. Hopefully we can all see/use it easily! :)
 
The Pinterest button stopped working for me a few weeks ago. I used to have a little button in the corner of my layouts as well as the browser button. I'm not sure what happened. I've had to copy the link and add the pin directly on the Pinterest site. Who knows what I did wrong, or what got updated in Safari.
 
hmphI blame windows ten for almost everything...
I'm a Chrome girl and have no problem with Pinterest
 
I had notice the Pinterest button disappearing too, but hadn't connected that it was still working on my desktop (Windows 7) and not on my laptop (Windows 10)! :duh
