Hi is anyone else having problems suddenly not being able to pin new items listed on to pinterest from Folksy symbol. X is working fine. It was working a few days ago.
I just pinned a few new listings – didn’t have an issue.
Sorry. Maybe you just need to re-fresh or clear the cache?
Good luck.

Thanks,
Still having problems trying to pin. Pinterest account looks o.k.
I’ve just relisted an item and pinned it - all worked as it should. What happens when you try?
I have just pinned, click on the share button on the iPad, select Pinterest and post. Never used the Folksy symbol as the Mac’s do not like it and not needed.
I don’t know if you’d created a number of pins at the same time but, if you had, Pinterest may have temporary blocked you from pinning. Although they don’t have an official limit, if you make a number of repeated actions, they freeze you as part of avoiding spamming to their site by bots and the like.
It’s saying ‘authorisation failed’. Unable to get into pinterest altogether ! No idea how to fix it as i am not very good with i.t skills especially social media. I haven’t received any notification from them saying they have blocked my access.
A quick Google came up with some options…the ones I’ve screen-shotted below are probably the simplest ones to start with.
Thanks everyone for your support. Pinterest have unlocked my account and things seem to be o.k. just a lot slower trying to pin from my Folksy shop when I list new items. Hopefully my traumatic day will not be repeated. Has taken since 9.00am this morning to sort it all out, thanks to a very patient hubby! If anyone has the time could they trial my Pinterest account to see if it is o.k? Should be under Gail Pingree and Demelza Designs as I had two accounts which we have hopfully linked together.
