leave a closed third party board

Mikael Byström

Obviously it's too much to ask for that when a board is closed, members are automatically removed, or given a way to leave.

I need to leave a closed board that was operated by a now defunct third party, that keeps showing up in search results. Why would anyone want results from a non-usable board?

There was a way linked to in Leave a board in Trello, but of course that is closed now. 

So, how do you leave closed board you're just a member of?

However, Trudy's response got me searching for way to reopen a closed board. I found Reopen a closed board. There's no solution for my problem there. However, it does tell you how to list closed boards. So using that, here's a possible solution.

1. Click on the Boards button from the Trello start page.
2. From there, click on the View all closed boards button. You may need to scroll to the bottom of the page if you have a lot of boards.
3. Find the board you want to leave. You can only reopen a board if you were an admin of it. So there'll be no reopen button if you weren't.
4. Click the Leave button, then verify again in the popup.

Problem solved. However, do note that at least in the app, possibly in any browser as well, the effect might not be seen until you restart as there's no success message. This did work for me though.
Actually the start page is often a good place for finding out all kinds of solutions just clicking around. Even Trello staff seem to be unaware of how their own product works, which is interesting. I've found solutions they said didn't exist, by clicking around, often from the start page viewing everything in my account.
