Notebook list suddenly missing

[JullietteM 2]

Suddenly I can't see the Notebook and tag list in the left panel as I usually do. The left panel is now blank.  I tried closing and reopening Evernote.  I've never had this problem before.

In the View menu, Show left panel is checked. But when I click on Show Notebooks or Show tags, nothing happens, the panel remains blank.  I'm confounded!

Did you try exiting EN using File - Exit and then restarting?  You could try toggling the left panel off/on using F10 (if Windows).  Are the Note List and Note windows okay?

Thank you for responding.

Problem solved by your suggestion, terrific!, thank you!  It's odd though.  I did try closing Evernote before posting this and re-opening it and that didn't solve the problem, but when I just tried it again, it worked. So that begs the question: Is there a difference between simply using the close window icon (in the upper right corner of the window) which I did before (that didn't work) vs using the File > Exit menu item as I just did (that did work)?  I was under the impression those two ways of closing a program were the exact same; am I wrong?

FYI:  Toggling F10 on and off didn't fix the problem.

You are welcome.  Yes there is a difference.  File - Exit completely shuts down EN, x'ing out doesn't. 

Yeah, sorry about the F10, sometimes you just offer up stuff hoping something will work.

I'm having the same problem, but only in Chrome. I can see my Notebooks in Firefox. I deleted History in Chrome - everything from the beginning of time. I logged in again. Same thing. The contact page isn't working either - just keeps asking me to sign in even though I'm already signed in. I've messaged Evernote on FB and Twitter. No reply. I have the Basic version and tried to upgrade to the paid version so I could get support. The upgrade button isn't working either. REALLY FRUSTRATED.
