The bio section at the profile page changed and if your bio was very long, it is cut off and you might want to rewrite a shorter bio to fit the space. The new changes also include being able to see all activity in a new activity tab and three users who have repinned your pictures. The feature which shows which three users have repinned your photos seem to be random – I don’t think it’s your most active repinners, nor the latest three.

    Is the “command” button on a Mac the same as the “Ctrl” button on a Windows machine?

  3. Laura

    I don’t have the profile page that allows me to arrange my boards. Is there a newer version since approx. April, 2013 ?

    I don’t mind subscribing for the Monday email. If it’s one email. I have so many emails I can’t read them all. I hope the new Pinterest update has done something to address the barrage of emails of every person who pins. I get 200 to 400 emails a day just from Pinterest! I only tolerate it because I enjoy the program so much. Thanks!

      I agree – Pinterest sends way too many emails and I have hard time figuring out how to stop them all. Seems like I try to stop them, but more emails always come :)

    I am having trouble seeing more than the first page of each of my boards…When I get to the bottom of the page…it just stops, even though I have hundred more pins in that category…any suggestions? Thanks!

    Thx for sharing this info. Wondering if you could shed some light on viewing a board … I can no longer see more than 50 or so pins in my boards. A small screen to the right is visible but blurry … any hints for this techno dummy ? E

    Thanks for the tip. I have rearranged my boards before and found it hard to navigate. I’m glad you mentioned minimizing the page. I will have to try it that way. I know how to minimize my page by double clicking on the top bar and using the arrows, but I have no idea what the command button is… Can anyone enlighten me??

    Thanks,
    Stacy

      Hi Stacy! I minimize the screen by using the command button at the same time as – button. And then you can get it back large again with Command and + button.
      so..
      minimize: “Command” and “-”
      make larger: “Command” and “+”
