HOW TO RETRIEVE OLD POLYVORE SET ITEMS USING PINTEREST
-
Oh my god guys i swear i've just lucked out finding this but basically i've been using pinterest to find items to use.
I would find an item uploaded from polyvore and have a little snoop round the boards it was pinned to and nabbed the items to upload on here.Now, i was messing on with the app and I found a setting where you can search for visually similar looking items.
I was like hmmm okay lets see if this works.AND IT DOES!
All i'll say is that it works for sets clipped to pinterest. If you search your polyvore user loads of sets come
up (for the majority of users anyway) but don't worry if your sets are not already linked to pinterest because i'm
pretty sure you can link them through urstyle and then do this trick.SOOOOOOOOOOOO i've uploaded a quick video on how to do it and i hope it makes sense (hmm side eye @ ssense)
If it doesnt make sense i dont mind writing a little step by step guide on here with pictures.
I just used my phone to record the video btw
ENJOY ANGELS I HOPE IT WORKS FOR YOU TOO

@ahngelical also I should say it works 80% of the time. Some items may never have been uploded with Pinterest so you can’t find them that way but oh well. Also it’s really late so sorry for spelling mistakes and whatnot
-
@ahngelical how r u highlighting the items
-
@emcf3548 I click the three dots at the tops of the image and then click ‘search for visually simialr’
It then gives you the little clipper / highlighter box to position and move around.
Once you’ve highlighted the item, if you scroll down you’ll find the item ( if it was uploded but out of about 20 I’ve done so far only 3 items I couldn’t find)Hope it helps

@ahngelical clicked the three dots and it said report pin or embed no option to search for visually similar
-
@emcf3548 are you using the app or just on web? I’m using the app so it might just be a feature on there
-
@ahngelical oops I think I found it
-
@emcf3548 that’s good!!! I hope it works for you as well and not just me lucking out
-
@emcf3548 oh ok I got it wow thanks this could help in retrieving some of our items.
-
@emcf3548 I hope so! I’ve been terrified of using all my items but bless up for Pinterest
️ -
@ahngelical u r right thank goodness for Pinterest n thanks u so much WOW this can really help omg
-
@emcf3548 peeps n here will glad to discover this tomorrow
-
@emcf3548 thank you omg. I only found this by accident cause I was messing on whoops but I hope everyone can at least retrieve some of their lost items

For items that weren't pinned, you can use the method @majipoor described here
https://urstyle.com/topic/665804/hunters-and-gatherers-unite/106@majipoor said in Hunters and Gatherers, Unite:
I've also uploaded some wings & veils here & I'm also slowly uploading some fillers that I was able to get from the poly site.
I didn't see this mentioned by anyone else, so sorry if I'm repeating other people, but there's still a lot that can be accessed if you do a google image search then add site:polyvore.com to the end. For transparent stuff you can then go into advanced search and specify the file format to png.

This is really a gr8t way to recover items because once u highlight the item u want all other similar items pop up in several colors the thing is u just have to pin them and upload them later but u can accumulate a lot of similar items.
-
@emcf3548 I like this bcause u can recover items that were used in previous sets
-
@myrrael ooooh thank you I’ll check it out! I know when I was panicking about items someone on tumblr mentioned how if you go to the download ssense gave you where all your sets are, if you use the spreadsheet for likes and search the second column of numbers in google and type ‘polyvore’ after you’d possibly find the item the number correlated too but I found it no use
-
@emcf3548 ikr. I also found that if you find an item and click the board it was pinned to 9/10 it’s a Polyvore board full of items and sets where you can find similar items (I hope that makes sense)
-
@ahngelical That sounds so complicated O.o
And, I can't do that. My download didn't work shrugs It's fine, though. I'm having a blast on here and uploading a lot of items (for both myself and other people, of course). But, yes, I really wanted the items, and finding SO many of them in this way. Especially needed with transparent background. I don't think I ever saw a Pinterest item with a transparent background? The doll legs/ arms/ etc I got from there are all on a white one. -.-'
Ack, sorry, rambling! Have fun hunting
