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.

Obsidian - Initial release March 30, 2020; 4 years ago... Now more than 1600 official plugins... It's spreading like a virus... In my opinion, it hasn't even started properly... In 4 years, the community has been through a lot... What's gonna happen in another 4 years? It's not free... it'll be the same business as Worpdress... or like Evernote... I don't see why it should die before Evernote or why not. For one thing, I have almost always found several solutions and I picked the best one for you.... Even with worse plugins it would work better than Evernote does now in my workflow... Of course, some plugins can crash...Also some plugins crashed in the past in Thunderbird. But never has a plug-in breakup slowed me down in efficiency the way the transition from Legacy to v.10 slowed me down. I'm just a big fan of Evernote, but emotions aside... the reality is what it is... And I have 35 plugins in Obsidian, each one tweaking a little thing.. if 1-2 fall out, I really don't get mad... Same with Wordpress. I've been working with Wordpress for 10 years. Something fell out... but the system works great for me globally. You just have to use those plugins wisely and not build a session on them. But just see it as an improvement that can be changed if it doesn't go any further

What's ironic about this comment to me is that the changes Bending Spoons has been making lately has been making me fuss and worry about my systems and workflows in Evernote. With Obsidian, I have way more control over how things look and function. Sure, there was an initial learning curve and getting settled, but now I'm on cruise control with way less disruption. Edit: so actually I agree with that comment, but I'm just on the other side of the coin.

1) Nothing was killed. The v10 app is new. What’s not there was not coded. And THIS is a deliberate decision for simplicity. 2) I doubt after more than 3 years without this option there is any real need to add it. At least you should have better arguments when you tell: feedback@evernote.com

I saw one just the other day where another developer picked up and carried it on. It wasn't a big one though -- not one that I depended on. Trying to remember which it was. Can you name just one highly popular plugin in Obsidian that people were dependent on (not just cosmetic plugins) that went kaput with no one picking up support? I haven't heard of any. Not to say that it couldn't happen, but the bigger point of my comment is that with Evernote the community has zero control over changes (naturally) and things have changed (e.g. green color to blue internal links, UI revamp, mobile UI A/B testing, etc) and been taken away (e.g. Legacy). So worrying about a plugin or two going away in Obsidian is no different in comparison.

It's a thing of beauty 😍

That is horrible! They have KILLED what was working really well! Another loss... I hope they get that fixed soon... I heavily relied on that/those features!

Biggest issue here is that folks don't.

Probably the functionality you're used to stops. Worse case scenario would be the whole app fails until the plugin is uninstalled. I do wordpress consulting and the biggest single point of failure is third party plugins and themes. Personally I wouldn't give over all my productivity and workflows to hobby projects and free things. Id rather deal with just one place even if that means I can't have all the features all the times in one app. I just need to get stuff done and not spend my life fussing with systems and workflows.

I too would very much like to have Evernote have the capability to dictate using an AI Transcription service like Open AI Whisper directly into an Evernote Note. I am familiar with and have used the Frank Thomas solution that "SeeingHuman" referred to and can confirm that it is very effective and incredibly useful. If I had the needed skill set I would take a shot at creating the exact same solution in Evernote that he did for Notion. If anyone wishes to find out more simply do an internet search "Frank Thomas How to Take Perfect Notes with Your Voice Using ChatGPT". This kind of solution would be ideal in and for Evernote!

You'll have to adapt or move to another product, just like people have had to do for v10 not satisfying features and workflows they relied on in Legacy - or other changes that Bending Spoons make that we get stuck with (e.g. green to blue internal links). The plugins in Obsidian are all open source. Somebody else can pick it up and run with it. We're actually more "stuck" with Evernote in that regards IMO.
