Pinboard is a single, weekly email only sent to your school or group. Just like a pinboard in a hallway you can post and read useful OFFERED, WANTED and RECOMMENDED suggestions to and from people you know and trust.
PINBOARD IS ALSO NOW AN APP – where you can reach all our Pinboard groups (‘Pinboard World’) and discover lots more – DOWNLOAD HERE
Simply REGISTER HERE to set one up, it’s an easy process.
Pinboard can be used by any school, group or organisation whose members would like to communicate with each other via a private, weekly newsletter. Any member of the group can then post into categories of ‘Offered’, ‘Wanted’ or ‘Recommended’ on the newsletter.
Anyone requesting membership to a particular newsletter will be verified before gaining access.
Setting up Pinboard and the app are free-of-charge. In order to keep the Pinboard mechanism possible, there is a ‘Pay-to-post’ element for commercial posts.

Sign in with your current email address and go to ‘My Settings’ where you can change your email address. Or if you have the App just go to ‘My Profile’ to change your email address.
Posts can’t be edited once you have uploaded them. You have until the day before your newsletter goes out to delete your post. Simply follow MANAGE MY POST. If you need to do an urgent update please email info@pinboard.com.
Try to use screen grabs or smaller photos, also things look better on ‘landscape’ rather than portrait. Try not to upload visuals with lots of words but rather copy and paste the text into the post.
It is possible to join multiple Pinboards as long as you have a legitimate associations with each group and are verified by that school, group or organisation. Simply ‘JOIN ANOTHER PINBOARD’ when you’ve logged in.
Your School / group’s verifier is notified once a day if they have new members waiting to join. Do contact us at info@pinboard.com if you’ve been waiting longer than a couple of days.
If you download the Pinboard App you will be able to SEARCH the archive of old Pinboard newsletters and you can also use the FAVOURITE function to build your own ultimate address book. DOWNLOAD HERE.
You might have tried to reset the password twice and received more than one email with a link - in that case you should always use the link from the latest email, which will be the one that works.
You might have taken too much time to open the password reset link. Due to security reasons the reset link expires after a while - in that case just reset again and use the link from the new/latest email.
