Maybe the broken arching happens with LARGE numbers of archive bookmarks? How many bookmarks do people have ?
About 3.5k bookmarks in my case, I think.
I finally got a refund and closed my account.

Re: Ask HN: What Happened to Pinboard?
#22As there has been no response from support to several email requests, I have stopped using Pinboard. I am temporarily Using Ditto ( a clipboard manager ) to store links and other interesting text snippets and pictures etc. ( I've decided that any tool I use needs to allow a local backup easily and preferable automatically ) I also use browser extension "Single File" on Chrome and Firefox to automatically save web pages locally. Tabs Outliner on Chrome is excellent in my opinion. Also use Program Automatic Screenshotter SO I have utely no evidence of that )several ways to determine browsing history. ( I assumed the Pinboard owner has lost interest somewhat - but I have absolutely no evidence of that )

I consider 3.5K is not very many. I thought a problem may be if a archived pages take up many "gigs" of storage ....

#25I don't use the archiving feature, but it might be useful to post some of the URLs here that are failing to archive.
I remember seeing in the FAQ [1] that pages above 32 MB won't be archived. That's not much with how bloated pages are these days. I wonder if the page + assets is exceeding that limit?
> Is there a size limit on archived links?
> There is a 32 MB size limit per link, which is typically enough for all but the largest pages. Links larger than 32 MB may not be archived.
As an alternative, ArchiveBox [2] has Pinboard support.

#26Been a LONG time happy user of Pinboard. I was looking to make automated backups of my bookmarks (not the archive) and I realized that the below (with your own values for the cookies) is a quick and easy way to pull down a json of all of your entries: curl --cookie "s_fid=; auth=; secauth=; login=alexpotato" https://pinboard.in/export/format:json/ -o pinboard.$(date -I).json
Here's the backup page with more formats for reference for anyone else curious:

#27I subscribed roughly one year ago and asked for a refund within the first month (I think it was a month) because I decided to go with raindrop.io instead.
Even though the website stated I would get a refund, the email was ignored.
This story suggests this problem is ongoing.

Good idea. Here are some URLs that have failed to archive for me in the last few months (I suspect none are close to being that large):

Thanks for the ArchiveBox suggestion - from the demo, this could be extremely useful!

I have 7240 bookmarks, which is apparently using 26.55 G of space.
