jhumkey 6 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 (On the web version) I've hated the "Edit | Remove" flyover since I first encountered it. I wish I could make it go away. Now you've added something new to make life even more unpleasant. If I save a list of links to review later, now for EACH LINK I get the warning "You are Leaving Evernote, are you sure?" That HAS to go. (And no, I can't use the client version. #1 because it leaves me with too many orphaned unsynced files (which the web version has no problem with) as I move between home and work, and #2 it fails at the office pc sometimes with Microsoft Outlook installed.) HOW CAN I TURN OFF THE "LEAVING EVERNOTE" WARNING??? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,066 Posted December 9, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hi. First this is a (mainly) user-supported forum so 'we' didn't add anything to the web client, and so far as we know it hasn't been changed at all for some months - evidence this recent post by Evernote. For the same reason I don't think there will be any changes to its operation for a while. I'm uncertain though why you would be getting 'leaving Evernote' warnings just by clicking a link. A new tab or window should open, but Evernote should still be open too. Do you save a series of links in the same note, or in separate notes? Link to comment
jhumkey 6 Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 Same thing I've done for months . . . at work, during a break or lunch, I save links to view later. All within the same note, all in Chrome (unchanged) on both ends. When the note gets big enough, I save/rename it to archival name. And start a new note. Now, for each link clicked on http://www.vice.com/en_se/video/iceman . . . I see a (clearly Evernote design, not a Windows message) note saying I'm leaving Evernote and asking me to confirm. Based on the form of that notice . . . I can't imagine anything other than a change in the web version can be responsible. Thanks, Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,066 Posted December 9, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted December 9, 2016 Hmmn. You're exactly right - I haven't used a link from an Evernote Web note in some time, but that warning is a new one on me. If you click on a URL in a desktop note, expected behaviour would be to have it open in a new tab or a new window, which it does. And the original Evernote source remains available, so not only is it superfluous and annoying but it's also wrong. Maybe this is one of those compromises necessary because on a mobile device the window might be replaced (although I still have tabs in Android). But even so, it's easy to tell whether or not I'm using a mobile device, and I'm not. Good news/ bad news - changes to the Web interface are already underway -but- it's a root and branch thing rewriting the service from the ground up, so it seems likely to take a while...

I set up a generic feedback thread so you can vote to get something down about the 'you are leaving' message - please visit the link and vote (top left of the window) if you'd like it gone... https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/102215-the-message-you-are-leaving-evernote/ Link to comment
WoNit 0 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Me too, I find the "You are leyving EN" highly annoying; and the flyover with links as well; adding a link should work as with Googl Mail: hitting CMD-K should open the dialogue as anywhere else! Link to comment
