OK, I guess I'm not an expert user. I've just tried pinterest.co.uk in Chrome and I get the "Welcome to Pinterest" popup after clicking on almost anything. How do I close this and proceed to the image I selected?
- joshenders 5y agoI was able to repro with a VPN on .co.uk . It looks like for some ccTLD (target markets) the nag UI isn’t directly dismissible. This seems to have happened after my time there. I understand the frustration. Either create an account, use a US VPN, or redirect yourself to .com with a specific cookie value set. I’ll leave that exercise to you. Here are some test URLs which should all be publicly accessible without an account: User page: https://www.pinterest.com/joshenders/ https://www.pinterest.com/joshenders/ Board page: https://www.pinterest.com/joshenders/herpetology/ https://www.pinterest.com/joshenders/herpetology/ Pin page: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/46232333644621276/ https://www.pinterest.com/pin/46232333644621276/

- joshenders 5y agoYou’re in a country (well, technically connecting from a non-US IP) which does not have a ccTLD redirect. This is the same issue as above. It appears the updated code sends a non-dismissible UI for non-US markets (the US is saturated, this is a user acquisition/growth strategy).
