HOW TO RETRIEVE OLD POLYVORE SET ITEMS USING PINTEREST
-
@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
-
@myrrael hmmm you could try adding ‘png’ After the item but I’m not sure how successful that would be. It must be frustrating trying to find transparent items.
And that’s awful that your download didn’t give you your items. It feels like the idea of a download link was last minuet cause everyone seems to have gotten different folders.
-
@ahngelical I do that. I use the advance search in Google's image search. There's a filter for pngs which brings up a lot of usable stuff. ...hence why my items tab is currently overflowing ;D
My download didn't give me anything, tbh. It opened a new tab on attempt and nothing. I'm sure it's my security settings, but I have a lot of security settings, so I just shrugged and moved on.
-
@myrrael ooh that’s good I’m glad you’re finding items. I could never make good sets with transparent images like dolls or art sets. Yall have good talent for that omg.
-
@ahngelical Thank you
It's something I really enjoy doing and I'm glad it shows .....I think we're derailing your thread, though? XD! Apologies. Back on topic: both methods work. It just depends on what you need when selecting which method to use.
-
@emcf3548 this is really easy just highlight item pinterest does all the searching (ex I highlighted a green pump it finds the pump and then shows a page full of pumps that r similar and asst. colors so instead of pinning just the one I searched for I can pin as many as I want then just upload them later or as needed.)
-
@emcf3548 that's why it's so good! ahhhh who knew pinterest would be the savior to the item disaster
-
Sounds great! I've been uploading 99% of my items from Pinterest, but hadn't found them in that way. I'll have to try it later today
-
@maggotpunk Pinterest has honestly been a backbone for all my items we're so lucky they were linked to polyvore cause i'd have broke down trying to refind items
-
That's an awesome trick to get some of them back. Thank you !!
-
@wintermoon I tried this and it works this is really the recover some of ur items
-
@ahngelical after highlighting item on pinterest if it has dots on items it will find the item without moving the highlighted box to each item
-
@emcf3548 just click on the dot and it will find that itema and all other similar items wow
-
@emcf3548 it works for a few of my sets but not all but it’s still pretty neat
-
@ahngelical i thought about making a pinterest account just so i can compile things to "clip" but, ,, that would take too long haha, it has been very helpful though. most everything that i regularly used i've found on there
-
@emcf3548 I am having the same problem as you. When I click on the three dots, it says report or embed. Where did you find the right place to click?
-
@affton hi! On the app for iOS (probably android too) its the three dots at the top. On a webpage there’s a little button that looks like a square with the sides cut out on the top right of the image. If you click that it leads too the ‘find visually similar’
I hope this helps -
@maggotpunk Pinterest is lowkey my life RN if I’m honest only because of these items omg
