Pinterest not loading although it is on allowed sites list

Hello,

I have blocked certain categories of website using Plusnet Safeguard and then allowed some sites to bypass this. I have allowed Pinterest.com but it is not loading at all unless I turn off Safeguard altogether. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a fix?

thanks

Sorry to hear this @aw6709 

Just to confirm do you get the page saying the website is blocked or does it just not load at all?

Re: Pinterest not loading although it is on allowed sites list

Just having a quick look at the html source of pinterest.com and there are a couple of other domains that it is loading resources from which are probably also blocked.  api.pinterest.com and s.pinimg.com are easy to spot, but there may be others (the code isn't well laid out) and there may be others referenced inside the scripts at those addresses,

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Thanks very much. I have added those to the safe list and there is an improvement - the site loads now but images are masked/not loading. Also my browser goes to Pinterest.co.uk automatically when I type in the .com site

Fix

I have now added pinimg.com to the safe list and it now seems to be loading properly.
