    Disappearing Pins-- Is there a limit?!


    Put simply whenever I reach a certain amount some of the pins on the left hand side disappear and will only reappear after deleting some in the front on the right hand side. So is there a limit to how many pins we can have? I thought the cloud would sort
    of resolve this. I remember with the 360 I could go on and on with adding pins and none of them disappeared. So is there suppose to be a limit? It's a little annoying.

    :)

    Disappearing pins

    Actually, it's not just Killer Instinct Classic that keeps disappearing. The YouTube pin just disappeared too. I have 13 items pinned - 10 games and 3 apps - and 1 pin keeps disappearing for some reason.

    Disappearing Pins

    Yup, happens to me too. I can only imagine it is slow at reading stuff from the HDD/Online and doesn't load properly as VERY oddly you have no Pins available when offline which makes no sense to me.

    I haven't had this happen. I've seen another thread about this topic maybe search the foums. Have unpinned some apps to check if they still dissapear.

    How many apps do you have pinned? None should disapear in my opinion. Then again if you have all the apps pinned you might as well just go to / my games and apps /.

    Well it's not only apps I also have various TV shows and movies pinned.....all kind of stuff even various website addresses for easy quick convenience. That's whats so great about pins the easy access to various media right on your home screen whether it's
    movies, TV shows, games, etc...

    However it defeats the purpose if the oldest ones just disappear when you reach a certain cap and try to add new pins.

    I guess I'm trying to find out if there is a cap or is my situation unusual. I do have quite a bit of stuff pinned though....but I thought that it shouldn't matter. I'll count the next time I go on.

    I could have sworn an article read mentioned 30; can't seem to find it anymore. Pinning is supposed to be for your most used apps for convenience; more than a handful and I see no point.

    Had this happen once when my internet was being sketchy, re-logging sorted it.
