  1. I guarantee you 100% and would bet the mortgage on it: if Evernote offered more fonts, made it possible to change the default, and tripled the number of font and highlight colors, masses of people would post here complaining that they are wasting their time on trivia that nobody needs instead of fixing dire issues. I would not agree with that viewpoint; but I also don't agree that the limited colors and even the lack of a selectable default font (which I wouldn't mind having) is a deal-breaker.
  2. I am glad that my Outlook calendar is now connected (Microsoft account is listed).  However, while the calendar is shown, the events scheduled in my Outlook account do not appear.  I've not been able to find any other listings about this problem so any thoughts are appreciated.

      I don't use Outlook at all myself, so I haven't really even got a thought. Best of luck.

  3. Folks here agree with you, but we are not Evernote, just other users, unable to fix things. You can email feedback@evernote.com,
  4. They're definitely hard at work removing friction points. For instance, the handy gear icon to access settings at the top of the left panel disappeared with the new UI. Some report that the arrows to go forward and backward among notes in that same region is also gone. So much less friction. 😆
  5. This will not be a useful suggestion, only an observation. In Legacy, some users seem to have developed what seem (to me) to be edge cases, such as extremely long titles, workflows dependent on editing the updated or creation dates of notes, etc. There are always good reasons to do this at the time, but they are rather pushing the limits of the data fields. In v. 10, these limits seem to be stricter, and not as friendly to such (IMHO) edge cases. There are some discussions in the forum of possible ways of maintaining Legacy as an archive of past notes on an offline computer. If that can work, you could perhaps maintain the older records there for easier viewing and access, and begin creating new records using a different method.
  6. Also, since v. 10 for the past year has had a new data structure to optimize automatic syncing, notes created in Legacy take a few seconds to update to the new structure when they're loaded for the first time. After that, they should open instantly.
  7. I had to fully exit Evernote (File > Quit) and restart to get it going. Not 100% glad that I did; there's no going back.
  8. Check Tools > Settings, Notes, scroll down to Note width. Is it set to Optimize readability? Often setting it to Fit to window fixes this. (And no, they absolutely shouldn't set it to Optimize readability for us, and no, it doesn't actually optimize readability.)
  9. Take a look at the first few posts of the thread: the problem is that when the AI EDIT button is put onto the right end of the toolbar in versions prior to 10.80.3, it comes with a massive amount of padding on the left side (or something like that), so that all the formatting tools from Highlight forward have to go into the More button. Apparently this is fixed in 10.80.3.
  10. I agree with every bit of this (except the assumption that Evernote is here to be addressed). There is a kludge (not even worth being called a workaround): type a space after every / (the menu will pop up on /, disappear on space); then when you're done typing do a search-and-replace (Ctrl+H) and replace every /[space] with /. Uck. Yich. Grrrr.
  11. Not sure if we're saying the same thing, but when I type and/or, the menu pops up on /, on "o" shows all options with an "o" in their names, then on "r" all options with "or" in their names (i.e. Audio recording), and only disappears on the next character. Actually, it doesn't disappear once you've typed something that's not on the menu; "Add an element" stays even when there are no elements to add. It only goes away when you type a separator (space or punctuation). If you're a touch typist and not looking at the keyboard, this is phenomenally distracting, since you're used to monitoring what appears on the screen to see if you typed correctly, and when that mess pops up your long-trained typing functions say "Wait, I didn't do that"--this is just brain linkages working, and will take quite awhile to untrain. 😡
