I downloaded Clearly but can't figure out how to "sign in permanently." The Account section of the Clearly Options page in the Chrome browser says "You are not permanently signed in. Click on the Evernote icon, in the Clearly sidebar, to sign in."

But I cannot see an Evernote icon in either the aforementioned Options page or the sidebar that shows up when I use Clearly on a web page. In the latter case, clicking on the Clip to Evernote icon does nothing except set the icon spinning forever.

What OS & browser version are you on?

[Dave Trowbridge]

Sorry, should have included that. I'm using Windows 7 32-bit (it will be 64-bit by this evening) and Google Chrome.

BTW, I tried Evernote a few years back (2007?) and wasn't impressed. What a difference 5 years makes! I wish now I'd stuck with it; it became indispensable within a few minutes of installation this time.

The upgrade to Win 7 64-bit and subsequent reinstallations seem to have fixed the problem. Thanks: a great product now even better.

I'm actually having the same problem right now on Chrome for Mac—the icon doesn't prompt me to log in, but instead spins forever. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Clearly extension a couple of times, but it does the same thing. I'd appreciate any help at all. Thanks!

same problem with yjsoon here. Chrome for Mac.

Me too.

Any news on this? The usefulness of Clearly is somewhat diminished by this bug.

[jhicks]

Icon just spins for me too. I have tried re-installing multiple times.

Chrome for Mac (most up to date)
Mac OS 10.8

I can confirm we have a serious bug and are working to fix it ASAP. Will post updates here.

Same problem here: Chrome on Windows 8!

Ok - we have rolled out a fix for the authentication issue that has been causing serious problems the last day. Please let me know if anyone is still experiencing problems.

- You may need to logout & re-login.
- You may have to restart the browser or clear the cache.

I have got the same problem. Here is a report:

1. I had the 'TypeError: Object false….' problem. I found the thread with the beta and downloaded that, following the instructions.
2.I no longer got that message but the wheel just kept on spinning.
3. I went to Clearly's options and saw that I was not logged in. I then had exactly the same issue as Dave Trowbridge. I am "not permanently signed in" but I cannot find an Evernote icon anywhere to click in order to sign in.
4. I am using Windows 7, and the latest stable version of Google Chrome (Version 24.0.1312.56) and everything has worked perfectly until the last couple of days.
5. The url that is currently failing to save is http://zeen101.com/w...hint-wordpress/

BTW I looked in the discussion at http://discussion.ev...lipping-failed/ and saw you suggested that we might log out and then log in. There is no way to sign out on the Clearly options page that I can see, just as there is no Evernote icon.

Hi Owen,
The signin / signout design is a bit confusing at the moment.

1) Sign out can only be done on the Clearly options page
2) Sign in can only be done in the Clearly toolbar when you use it on a page by clicking the Clip to Evernote icon.

We're working on a better design.

[OwenKelly]

Okay. I understand that. Yesterday I did not get an option to login when I used Clearly. Instead it attempted to save the article without logging me in and the wheel just kept on spinning.

Today it does indeed offer to log me in, but when I enter my username and password it tells me that "Authentification failed" I copied and pasted the name and password from Lastpass so they are correct.

Cheers
Owen

Thx Owen,
We pushed an update this morning at 10am aimed at stabilizing this. Latest version is 8.3354.571.888 and you can get it in the Chrome Web Store or wait for it to auto update. Let me know if you still have issues once on the latest version.

[OwenKelly]

Thanks,

After clearing the cache, reinstalling etc, the new update worked fine. I have clipped three pages to check and all is well. Thanks!
