I do see the new view but I also see something troubling which is that, even though my tasks are still functioning, the "Things to Do" note appears to have no tasks in it if I open it. This is on both Android and in Windows. However, if I look at the note overview it shows the first few tasks and the correct number of tasks. Is this an intentional change or is there something in my task that is causing display issues when I open the Things to Do note?

Including some ownership pride:

... And now I have to say, NM, my bad. WRT the Web client anyway. Seems I had cleared cookies to get Evernote Web to finish loading (another problem). And guess what, settings are stored in a cookie, so clearing resets them to default. 🤤 Sorry. The Web client was behaving as it should. But the losing of offline notebooks in the mobile apps is something different, obviously.

is really fine

Oh my gosh, I also add my thanks to Promosinc!!! This issue has been hindering me for well over a year!! I had submitted a support ticket to Evernote with no luck from them in solving it. I was seriously considering dumping Evernote, and I was one of their earliest users - going back almost twenty years!! Thank you, thank you.

I have to say you can still get to your widgets but the update is so much nicer, everything loads right away, tasks sync immediately now. It's a massive improvement.

I have had been unable to clip to Evernote on my Android phone for a long time, I think since they did their software revamp, with the symptoms you describe - the Notebook field flickers with "Loading", and if you hit Save, it says "Error Clipping". This has been through multiple versions of Android and Evernote on two different Google Pixel phones - a 4a-5g, and a 7 Pro. I sent a support ticket in, and they expressed sympathy but gave no timeline for a fix.

It happens in the iOS mobile app, where the "offline notes/notebooks" setting keeps reverting to "off" when an update arrives. You don't always know the app has updated so you think your offline notes are there, but surprise! they aren't. Everything you previously downloaded for offline use has been removed from your device. Let's hope you notice it before you arrive somewhere that doesn't have a good cell signal. I think it started happening sometime last summer, though it may not occur with every update or on every device because it seems very random. I lost hope that it will ever be resolved and moved all notes that I might need to access on my phone to a different platform.

To be fair, both Google and M$ do have phone numbers and email addresses if you look hard enough. Haven't seen that w/ Evernote. And when I enter a support ticket w/ M$, they actually respond. That's really my main gripe w/ EN support. At least acknowledge my existence with something other than a canned and empty promise...

This seems to happen especially often in the Web client, but it can happen in the Windows desktop app, and maybe the Android mobile app (see the thread linked below). The Web client automatically updated to the latest v. 10.86.2 recently. And it re-set 3 (THREE!) of my default settings: It turned on Strikethrough completed checklist items, which I always keep turned off. It changed Note width from Fit to window to Optimize 😅 readability. It changed Slash commands from Hide inline hint to Show inline hint. I've had the first one re-set to what Evernote thinks everyone should want repeatedly ever since they introduced the feature. #2 does not usually get re-set to Evernote's preference, though I don't think this is the first time; and #3 is too new to have data on. Is anyone else experiencing this kind of re-setting of defaults with app updates? I just don't understand why an update should touch the user's preferences. I noticed in the Android app forum a thread saying that offline settings get changed with every update:

Welcome to the forums. We are mainly other users here, not Evernote staff. Their support has been very, very slow for months now, so it may take awhile before you hear from them. Meanwhile, the steps that you've tried seem like the usual ones to try. The next step would be to uninstall the app altogether (making sure than any offline notes or notebooks are synced first!), and then reinstall it. After you reinstall, give it some time to download basic information and before searching. Can you say more about the Web version? Are you saying that searches also fail there? That would be surprising.

Please see my reply to the other thread:

I just encountered something like this today. As usual, the remedy was to clear cookies from the browser (clearing just the past hour's cookies worked).

You've posted this in a thread in the forum for Evernote v. 6, which is no longer functional. Please look for a forum related to v. 10 and post there. Thanks.

Hi, and welcome to the forums. We're just other users here. Most effective way to direct this is to feedback@evernote.com.

This problem was solved by the OP almost a year ago. What's the point?

But they differ... I added the plugin myself and I know what didn't work before and what works now. And if it doesn't work, I'll be one step back of it... I know where I might return and I know that it worked for me there too... Whereas with BS I don't know where I will be after the change... For this reason, I don't even use any theme. I use the default, which I adapted through my own CSS, which I can modify at any time to my liking and I don't have to wait for anyone to update the theme.

And one more thing about plugins. Obsidian is principally designed that way. All incrementally added functionality is built through plugins. If a plugin is suitable for the majority, it becomes an integral part of the installation itself, and at that moment you can see it as "settings" and the plugin should basically always be in Obsidian... that is, as long as Obsidian exits, this setting will also be there

Yeah same. I have to constantly scroll now to view meeting notes in Evernote. PITA tbh! How can we change this? I think I'm at 2 strikes with Evernote right now : big sub price increase, content formatting messed up...1 more and I think I'm out. Have already started to look at Notion and Roam...

for me the best: .... And there is still the basic image editing solution SNAGIT, which I also use... OPEN WITH - I forgot about this plugin, it's the top..

When I started with Evernote 12 years ago, I also had to spend a lot of time to find workflows and understand everything. This is true for any new system. But so far, no software has made as much of an impact on my workflow as changing Legacy to v.10. And it doesn't matter if I'm talking about Autocad, Thinderbird, Adobe products, Affinity products, Microsoft Office, Skechup, 3D softwares... Video editing softwares...Widnows, Android... it doesn't matter what I can think of, and there are a hell of a lot of those programs in the 25 years I've been using computers... So my patience has run out...

When I look at the list of my plugins now, it's really possible to work without them... I've highlighted in red the ones that would really annoy me if they didn't work... Without the others it would still work OK... But the best enhancement I have is my own CSS for the whole layout and formatting of the notes. It saves me an awful lot of time..

I only have two plugins that I really rely on: Dataview (1.6 million installs) and Tasks (1.2 million installs) -- two of the bigger plugins. I have 6 others that I use as niceties, but I don't really rely on them. If the plugins or Obsidian changed so much, I'd migrate to something else. It's already happened to me with Evernote and I am surviving, so I think I'd be ok.
