   The Pinterest Button has disappeared from by Hubs, even though I have opted to allow pinning.

      The pinterest button was still there when I looked at a Hub.  I suspect something is going wrong when the page tries to fetch the social buttons, but at this moment, I'm not sure what.

      I think this is resolved.  If this still occurs for you after clearing your browser cache, please post example Hubs and we will look into it.

            I can see the Pin It option on both your example hubs John, so it seems what we see varies person by person, or area by area, or something completely different!!!

            Are you just missing the Pinterest or other social media buttons?
            
            I just tested and it does take a bit of time to load, but I see the Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter social media buttons on both of the example Hubs you provided.
            
            If you clear your cache and upgrade to the newest version of Firefox, does the button show up?

               Nope - I have cleared the cache, I have the latest version of Firefox. No Pinterest button using, Mozilla, Chrome or Opera browsers on an XP machine. But weirdly when I use another computer Win 7 with IE8 it works. So beats me!

                     But Why, Tell me Why - should it work fine for 6 months and then suddenly two days ago stop working? Coincidences matter - it was just about this time that the other problem with profile switches started to happen  - the famous FLIP-FLOP on the switch to display 'idled' hubs or not. Seems likely the two are releated especially when other people report the pin button not displaying with the magnificent Windows 7 - next it will only work with Win8!!!

                        I once again went and checked your new, spotlight hub. All is there, including the pin button.
                        
                        The good news...
                        
                        It is you for some reason. Most visitors are seeing it and therefor have that option.
                        
                        The bad news...
                        
                        Based on yours and other's posts...
                        
                        Some are not seeing it with various OS/browser combinations.
                        
                        My perception...
                        
                        I really don't know... Really seems like a cross-platform issue. Is it deliberate or fumbling? I don't know...
                        
                        Priority...
                        
                        My Pinterest traffic is negligible. So my pulse-rate has not quickened. Others may feel differently.

                           I just did some further testing in IE8/XP and all the social media buttons loaded for me.
                           
                           Only ideas I have now are that it might be related to system resources (RAM, CPU, etc) and/or bandwidth.

                              Who knows. The logic that its my RAM, CPU etc. does not gel with me - its just a little button. I'll await futher developments.
                              Pinterest is very important to me as it generates a lot of traffic etc. If the whole world can pin my images with links back to my articles I'm happy!   I have my little right click Pinterest tool that works extremely well and I can pin several images from the same article not just one. So I am happy! So no worries thanks for trying. I'm happy! - three's a crowd, or a forest.

       There was a problem with "yes" means "no" and "no"means "yes" in the profile editor as to another attribute. Try it with the "show pin button" setting. Like I said, a long shot, but with multiple posts saying both "see" and "not see", who knows?
