Pinterest Pin It button for images not working 2015

The Pinterest Pin It button was moved to the bottom of the website, and apparently it is supposed to be the easiest way to share your pins from around the Web, well over the last two days this hasn’t been the case.

We have noticed the Pinterest Pin It button when sharing images etc is not working this side of 2015, users have also complained saying this has happened to them

Here is the problem

Go to your Pinterest account and click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the site (Bottom right), then click on ‘Add a Pin from a website’, then you can add the URL from a website of your choice, for us we add an OSM link. Then what is supposed to happen is that Pinterest automatically locates the images on your webpage your trying to Pin.

But instead of images showing up we are getting an error message saying, “Oops! This site doesn’t have any images to Pin.”

But do not worry, if this is happening just click the browsers refresh icon and the images will show up and then you can pin them. But this is a pain in the backside, we here at OSM have been doing the refresh way for a couple of days now and cannot understand why.

Are you having problems with Pinterest when trying to share a link?

    I’m having the same issue, trying to determine if Pinterest is working on this or if we need to update our code to allow users to Pin It from our website.
