Love this and love Pinterest. Number 12 is a big one for me, I want to be able to embed boards onto blogs or individual blog posts.

As far as #11 is concerned, they could follow in Juxtapost's footsteps. Juxtapost has an instant preview that pops up while your scrolling through. That way i don't lose my place and see it zoomed it.
I ended up going with juxtapost also because i can do private postboards. surely pinterest knows not everything has to be shared.

More sophisticated search, even if just a little, e.g. search by keyword PLUS board type. If I have some old books that no one wants, I know someone out there has some pretty cool crafts out there to make from them. But if I search for "book" or "book craft" guess what I get?
If they encouraged (i.e. provided an intuitive way to do it) people to pin with "ingredient" tags then you could search that way as well, whether it be items needed to make a craft, a recipe, a room, etc.

I think having a list of pinners who are the best in each category would be great, We made a great list of fashion, lifestyle and brand pinterest users to follow at https://www.pinnerstofollow.com/, hopefully it is useful!"

I prefer the previous format from the change a week or so ago. Longer board names are cut off, often the last pinned item which becomes the top larger pic, is cut off too. More, it’s more natural to view the boards going down, not across. This is still dis-orienting me a little. Intensely dislike the change.

Amen to needing a more sophisticated search…I would expect at the very least to be able to limit a search to individual board/user/category/originating site.
And I’ve complained bitterly to PInterest already about the tediousness of making changes. Have you tried breaking out a board into smaller categories. Excruciating!
In my dream pinterest universe, I shoudl be able to search my recipe board for all my Quinoa recipes, then click of little boxes next to the ones I want to move to a new “Quinoa Recipes” board, then jsut say “move checked items” and done. This is the normal expectation almost everywhere!

I’d really like a bulk move option. As I pin more things, I often find I’d like to separate a board into two but it would just take way too long to move each pin one at a time.

I’d love to have a Hide button that would remove or minimize pins in my feed I don’t want to see. Too many people pin things I don’t want to see but occasionally pin a good one. I don’t want my feed cluttered with crap, just things I like to see. A Hide button would enable a much prettier stream.
