@kathyb Thanks a lot for the heads-up on Notion and Pocket extension.

@leocg Hi, is there a way to backup a pinboard? Official or not, maybe an extension or something.
I have important info on several boards and I'd like to make a backup.

Thanks in advance!

@elboxd You can try backing up the Bookmarks file. Using Sync is a possibility too.

@leocg Hi. Backing up bookmarks has nothing to do with the complaint about the pinboards disappearing. The browser totes about all their features. They all should work and be dependable. Especially when they're talking about sharing and collaborating using the boards. I've been complaining about this issue for months. I'm also not alone as the very same thing has happened to others. They take the time to create, and then it's just gone. I'm not going through the hassle of backing up, when there are plenty of extensions available to organize what the Opera browser can't fix. If I'm not mistaken I've gone back and forth with you previously on this very same issue... pinboards disappear.

@qo-d Pocket is busy, and Notion is not only an extension, you can download the application to your desktop/laptop as well. The extension Notebook by Zoho does the same as Notion and you can design your notebook covers as well. My child has been using them for a year for school, at least they are dependable where Pinboards vanish. Enjoy!

@elboxd You can not back up your pinboards. Favorites yes, pinboards no. Use an extension. Again, Notebook by Zoho is an extension as well as an app you can download. Notion is the same, and Pocket is just an extension. I prefer the first 2 as I can just use the application. You can also design your notebook covers.

@kathyb The question was about how to back up pinboard and that's what I answered.

@kmielczarczyk So, if I clear browser data it clears my pinboards too? Hell, why not just clear my bookmarks too, uninstall Opera, and shut my computer down too. That would make just as much sense!

@leocg Saving to your favorites does not save or back up your pinboards. Adding them to favorites/sync/backup yields absolutely nothing because they still vanish. Again, they are useless and very unreliable.

@zuldaris That's how it goes. I mean the pinboards were great, until you clear your cache. They tried to blame it on installed programs.. lol.. no I used Opera's clean up itself. Many others have lost them and asked the same if backing up. Again, I chose a much more reliable extension that works just as well. Opera should WARN people that this pinboard crap is still in "beta" testing..But, they don't. They just suck you in and then you find out the hard way.
