Daisy_mae_duck Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Hello, my name is Melissa and I have a lot of pins that I noticed were not listed on the site that I have bought over the years. I was hoping i could add them to the site and was wondering how long it takes for pins to be posted after uploading them. I can't believe I just discovered this site and it is fabulous! I love having a place where we can catalog and trade pins! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having a place where we can catalog and trade pins! Hi! Welcome to PinPics! We're so glad you found the site. There are lots of great pin traders and collectors here. We always appreciate it when people want to add pins to the site. Generally, pins are approved within about 24 hours after submission (we're volunteers, so timing can vary a bit). Just make sure to check out the "Add a Pin" guide, as well as the guidelines for photos. I'll include the links here. As long as the pin submissions fit within these basic guidelines, approval should be pretty timely. If you have any questions at all or need help, feel free to send us a message through your Inbox here, and we'll be glad to help you figure it all out.

Please email Molly@pinpics.com and she will be able to send you the specifics for submitting pictures. They are currently updating the picture to a standard format so they can be search by photo recognition on the soon to be released PinPics App. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firechief18 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Welcome to the forum. Some of the older pins have different discriptions. Before taking individual pictures to submit, take a few group pictures to see if someone on the forum can find them first. Another option is to use key words and select the Include Description check box. I find it better to use a PC to do the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love having a place where we can catalog and trade pins! Hi Melissa! Welcome to PinPics. The best thing to do before submitting any more pins is to go to the Help Section that @TheTwins mention above. This will tell you what we need. I also believe I sent you an email. We need descriptions that are more than a few words, we need you to describe the Front and the Back of the pin just as if you were describing it to someone not looking at the pin. PinPics Perk Points are awarded based on doing the specifics in the Add a Pin feature....but not if they are not done correctly. Welcome to PinPics - so glad you are here and wanting to help!

Daisy_mae_duck Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 The print is so small on the back of some pins I cannot read it. Also, some pins do not have info on the back such as the loungefly pins. Before I added pins I searched several different descriptions using the include search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisy_mae_duck Posted April 15 Author Share Posted April 15 What do I do for description if the back is blank or hard to read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some pins do not have info on the back such as the loungefly pins. Before I added pins I searched several different descriptions using the include search. Hi! I'm working through the submissions now, actually. As an example, here is a pin you submitted: You typed "None" in the back description box. Just to clarify, there is no pin that has "none" for a back description. As laid out in the pin guide, key things to mention (aside form logos and copyrights) are the colour of the back, the finish/waffle pattern, how many pin posts there are (and if there are nubs or a barb), and any type/writing/stamps there might be on the back. For this pin - here is a picture of the back of it: Looking at that pin should have given you this back description: Gold sandblasted pebble finish. Single pin post with two nubs. ©DISNEY. Here is another example of one that you submitted: Here is a picture of the back of this pin: You should get a back description that is like this: Gunmetal with Crown waffle pattern on top half and sandblasted pebble finish on the bottom half. Single pin post with two nubs. Disney logo. ©Disney. MADE IN CHINA. FAC. Hope this helps clarify some of the back description questions! If you need help identifying finishes or nubs or logos, etc., take a look at this illustrated reference page: https://forum.pinpics.com/guides/database/how-to-describe-the-back-of-a-pin-and-the-terms-to-use-r6/?do=getNewComment&d=3&id=6 Elizabeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTwins Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 @Daisy_mae_duck - Thank you so much for the fabulous back pictures you sent me! Very appreciated! I've actually added them to the listings, too. Really appreciate you taking some of these jumbos out of the boxes to photograph them! So nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
