If you are talking about the picture in About page , it was never pinned . I only tested pinning articles . Pictures themselves are royalty free images from sites like pixabay . com but it should not be illegal pinning free photos . Also , when users mark pins as spam , the pin failure message is different according to results of my research . The reason has to be the inherited spammer IP address that the site was running for the first few weeks . anyway , seems like the only solution to get back into pinterest is to get a new domain name , which is not going to happen . <| sep |> shame this was taken down it seems <| sep |> I believe this happens if the computer can ' t find any input devices . Which is strange since you have a MacBook .
