Hello everyone in the forum, nice to meet you. I am a Japanese user.

My pinboard also disappeared, and it happened on October 15th at around 22:10 JST. I use two separate profiles, and I was trying out the pinboard feature with the second one since the beginning of this month. Despite not allowing cookies and using the GX Cleaner of OperaGX more than twice, my pinboard was fine for over 10 days. I restarted it multiple times and checked it, each time finding it secure, which made me relieved.

I knew it was a beta version and I did not use any external cleaning software, nor did I back it up. I didn’t use account synchronization or link sharing either. I understand my faults, and even knowing it was a beta version, I never expected it to disappear so easily. I thought that being in beta would only lead to minor display issues, text corruption, or disordered save sequences, but I accept that bugs are inevitable and I appreciate the effort of the developers who are working hard for us.

However, this was unexpected; it disappeared with just one restart. I have no idea which folder or file to back up from the Explorer’s user folder. I’m just an ordinary person with no technical knowledge and can’t do anything about it. I only managed to find a possible save location after discovering this forum. After realizing it was gone, I backed up all my user folders. If there’s a way to recover it, I would like to know. When I restored the tabs from the browser history, it stated that this pinboard was deleted, which saddened me deeply, as it was against my will.

I read that the pinboard information might be hidden in the bookmark file from this forum, so I tried it with a new profile, but I could only copy the bookmarks. I won’t give up hope; I am waiting for the developers to fix it so that my and everyone else's pinboard can be restored. I wish for the safety and recovery of all our pinboards.
