Can I be cheeky and bask someone to send me a pinterest invite

[RunsWithScissors]

Please. It is a fab site and wonderful looking tool. Tried to get an account through the site, but it's been a month now and nada!

Sadly, the "Pin It" thingy doesn't work on an iPad so I would have to get up off my lazy arse and turf a child of the PC to pin anything I actually might want to.

Oh- I love pinterest.
Could someone tell me how to invite people to it though? [dim]

MartyrStewart- your name is pure genius!

No you can still repin things from other people to your boards

soupy- sometimes I find it won't pin, then it will do them double

Not on an ipad though... macbook. There's often server connexion issues I think...

click on your name - and there'll be a pop up menu - scroll down one (1st or 2nd option) is invite friends. Click on it then - it takes you to a screeen where you can put in your friends' email address - then send.

I'm here

soup you can 'unfollow' the people you've been forced to suggested to follow.
This is me here if anyone wants a nosey.

martyr I've started following you :)

This is where we find we've all been pinning the same things :o

Oh yes please berrylellow! I'll pm you my email. Thank you, been meaning to do this for a while!

Have sent your invite :)

Oh does it definitely not work on iPad then? How very disappointing [hsad]. I was just coming on to ask how to work it, it looked really good... I may cry now

The "pin it" button doesn't work as you can't drag it to wherever you're meant to drag it. You can add stuff manually using the URL though.

Ooh ok thanks soupy but can you explain that in idiotproof instructions more detail please?

Um... No because I can't remember at what point the option appeared :o

But you have to copy the entire web address from the navigation bar on your browser and paste it into the Pinterest add URL box when you find it!

Is there an app perhaps?

Yes - there is an app.

If you are talking about pinning something (note to self -n read the whole thread again not just the last 5 posts), when you are on your page of Pinterest, there is a menu up the top. One of the options is Add which allows you to add a board or a pin. If you click on add a pin you get a box to put a ULR in and the rest is easy.

Hope you don't mind but I have followed some of you who put links on here. This is mine if anybody is interested here.

It is still a bit of a work in progress as I am relavtively new to it myself but I am building up some ideas for my C&G course that I have just started so hopefully it will get better!

I can send invites too if anybody needs one.

Can someone invite meeeee please? I didn't realise it could take a month to get an invite from the site!
