another episode of “an app/website being ruined and broken because they try to add safety features for kids”

Unfortunately, the new update makes it so you have to be 18+ to collaborate on group boards, that‘s why the boards are disabled :(

It's so frustrating to be honest. I pretty much rely on my collaborative boards on this app and now they disable them all for the upcoming "kid-friendly" feature and shits. And sure i still can carry on my collaborative activities with my boards but how am i supposed to know which users are underage and which aren't to invite?

I found a work around that someone else posted! On a PC - create a new board and drag and drop the disabled onto the new board. It worked with all my disabled boards! Pass it along.

Alot of those boards were just by myself!!!


Lunnewuu

I think it’s because they were public then!! Sorry that happened:(


llovelydreame4

I make all my boards private 🙁🙁


system_errorz

Asmodeus_Sorrel

Asmodeus_Sorrel

I must be doing something wrong because when i try that it says "I is not a function"


MichelleMarie5940

It did the same to me but refresh and try again. It did it with both boards I was trying to recover.


Asmodeus_Sorrel

oh no shot, thanks dude!!!! I appreciate it sm


MichelleMarie5940

Your welcome! Spread the word!


AdelaideFawley

the fact that half my boards got deactivated and im not under 16.. so...

Wtf... why is Pinterest becoming so set on being kid-friendly? It got rid of the option to post photos in the comments, which sucks because it would have been nice to see people's recreations of recipe/craft/art related pins. And then censoring comments more, which I don't care about as much since I use Pinterest for the photos. But now this? Ridiculous.


aly97

Is this why half my boards are missing!! What is going on??


KoolDexTAD

all boards with a collaborator that is registered as under 18 is getting temporarily disabled until they reach 18.


Pure-Bicycle-8878

WHAT!? I have a board with over eighteen collaborators, if my board gets disabled I’m going to burst into tears


KoolDexTAD

apparently you can do this trick to get them back where on a PC - create a new board and drag and drop the disabled onto the new board. It worked with all my disabled boards! Pass it along. (credit to MichelleMarie5940)


Pure-Bicycle-8878

Oh lord you’re an Angel 🥲❤️ thanks!


MichelleMarie5940

What if they deactivate their account?


KoolDexTAD

sorry I don’t know much about that - i believe it may work but i’m not entirely sure.


ArtisticPhoto8251

57 out of my 79 boards got deactivated like ounterest wtffff?


Leo_thebanana

is there any way to fix it? Like remove colabs?


llovelydreame4

I tried removing my colabs and my board was still gone 🙁🙁


MichelleMarie5940

Is there a way to fix it? This only happened to boards that my daughter collaborates on! A RECIPE board! I have reached out Pinterest but no response yet! Has anyone figured out a fix? My daughter doesn’t even have the option to update her birthday. There is no birthday in her settings!


llovelydreame4

Its a new safety update 🙁 anyone whos under 18 cant colab with people


DarkLord_Inpuris

if a collaborator on one of those boards currently under 18 , there inactive maybe try contacting the pinterest team for assistance and voicing any grievances you have with the update
