Level 5 PinkElephant 8,794 Posted May 21 Level 5 Share Posted May 21 Erase all cached content for Evernote.com in your browser, or use a different browser. Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Thank you for your reply, but that does not fix the problem. After clicking to "submit a request" there is a site saying "Loading" for 2 or 3 seconds, then I'm logged out and have to log in again. - In Google Chrome it is exactly the same behaviour.

Not sure what else we can do for you - we're mainly other users here and if you're using https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new as the support link, you should be getting through to a reporting page. Failing at that stage is a browser-related issue - which may mean connection speed / AV, firewall or VPN issues / conflicting add-ins or other processing issues. It just worked perfectly for me. As suggested earlier - try another browser. Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 I'm really grateful for your attempts to help me, but as I said before: I did try different browsers (Google Chrome, Firefox) and I did try different computers in different local networks, and I always get the same result. So I'm not convinced that the problem is really a local one. - The link you suggested leads me to the login-site, so I'm in the same trap. - The point is, that there seems to be no possibility at all to get in touch with Evernote, so this forum was my last hope before I have to leave Evernote and use a competing app. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,794 Posted May 24 Level 5 Share Posted May 24 From what you describe, it is very local. I assume you have popup windows disallowed, either by setting it or by choosing a strict security profile. Popup windows are necessary to log in. Make sure they are allowed, at least for Evernote.com and all subdomains. Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 In safari I have set "enable pop-ups" to "yes" and "block content" to "no" for the site "Evernote.com". Further on I have disabled everything in the sections "Privacy" and "Security". In Google Chrome, Firefox and Opera I did not change the standard settings, I tried them right after the installation. Do you know any browser that does not block Evernote help with the standard settings? A few weeks ago I found this post in this forum from 2018: https://discussion.evernote.com/announcement/72-issues-accessing-evernote-support-channels/ It said: Issues accessing Evernote Support Channels Shane D. By Shane D. 06/18/2018 Hi All, We've seen a few reports from users where they are automatically booted/logged out when trying to open support ticket, open a chat, or successfully login to the Help & Learning Center. If you're one of these users, please reach out to Shane D. directly here, so we can iron out the issue, and get you up and going. Let me know if you have any other questions! I tried to contact Shane D. 5 weeks ago, but I got no answer. Probably she does not work any longer for Evernote. In this older post she did not expect any settings in the browser to block the access to Evernote help, but see suggests that there might be a problem with some Evernote accounts that she promises to "iron out".

Things (and owners) have changed since then. Do you have access to Evernote on a mobile? It's possible to create a Support query via Settings on a mobile app. Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 I tried that too and got the same result. Is there as far as you know a browser that has a security profile that should enable the Evernote help? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 12,062 Posted May 26 Level 5* Share Posted May 26 44 minutes ago, jo7k said: a browser that has a security profile that should enable the Evernote help That should be all of them - I use a Chrome-based browser called Thorium which works for me. Have you tried access via the help pages? https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Yes, I tried the URL for the help site as well. I just installed Thorium browser and got the same problem. The promised contact form does not appear after I've been automatically logged out and then I logged in again. I've got two Evernote accounts, one of those I've just upgraded to Professional, and both have the same problem. We've got a lot of computers in our business, and I tried different computers, but all showed the same behavior. Sometimes the site does not log in promptly after the discussed process but gets stuck with those colored emojis and does not process further, sometimes I get an empty site, so I can imagine that the site tries to load a contact form but does not succeed. But mostly I just get my usual Evernote landing site. Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,794 Posted May 26 Level 5 Share Posted May 26 Make sure popup windows are enabled in the browser. If the problem prevails, try another browser on another network. Make sure to quit any security or ad blocking software before trying to access support. A network firewall can interfere as well. Last resort is to go on mobile data, and issue the ticket from a phone. Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Thank you for your reply, but as you can easily see when you look at this conversation, I already did everything that you resume, including the "last resort" on my iPhone. So there is no remaining resort, and the only conclusion at this time is: The Evernote help is by no means available for me as a paying member. I'm only curious: I see that you answered to other members with the same problem as mine. Did you achieve a solution for any of them? Link to comment

The Forums here are supported by other users - we don't have any more information than you see in this thread. As far as I know very few users are completely locked out of the Support system in the same way you apparently are. If we didn't already suggest it - you could try 'X', the Evernote Product Lead is quite active there... https://x.com/fedesimio Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,794 Posted May 28 Level 5 Share Posted May 28 You could try support as a guest, which doesn’t require a login: https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=254668&guest=true&guest=true Link to comment
jo7k 3 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 Yes, that works. The topics I can choose and the questions I have to answer don't match my problem, but I hope I'll get an answer anyway. Thank you again for your patient help. By the way, if I alter guest=true to guest=false I can choose any of the topics and answers the form asks me. I submitted that request too and wait for reply.

jo7k 3 Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 The Evernote Support immediately answered, so I'm in contact with them now. They did not find the point of error by now, but they are trying. Once they will have found a solution I will post it here. Link to comment
