Pinterest. . .

 I have become very annoyed with Pinterest lately and some of the changes they are making.  😕


I made the mistake of changing my page to have a "cover photo" and now I cannot get rid of it.  Literally there is no way to delete it and just be without one and there is no way to revert back to the previous format with pin photos.  I miss the collage effect and the continuous updating when adding new pins.

The stale stagnant cover photo concept stinks. Worse is I have tried 15 different versions and NONE of them fit right. 😟  When I open pinterest it loads funny on the screen, cutting the cover photo in half.
Now I'm stuck wondering does it do this to everyone or just me? 

Also, in spite of changing it multiple times and trying several different sizes, no matter what I upload it takes up a whole screen and opens weird. 😒  Now the basic buttons have changed, I used to be able to look at "boards" or pins, now it defaults to pins with "created" "saved" and "tried" not really helpful for my Business account perspective when I just want to know which board I last posted on.  It is made worse by the fact that there is a delay and an apparent selective memory in what pins it even shows me. 

And to rub inconvenience salt in the wound there is no button for "boards" anymore that I can find and I have clicked everywhere. I even went searching the help section where it claims you can select "featured boards" but the directions are bogus because when I tried the entire "featured" option in settings does not exist on my account.

Meaning in order to look at my preferred "boards" view I literally have to type in the URL and force it. 😕  I'm going to have to create another "bookmark" in my browser just to get to something that used to be a button right on the main page. I don't know whose idea this was but it's pretty stupid if you ask me.
