Interesting. I suspect you're on it. I have the path ...AppData\Local\CEF\User Data\Dictionaries, but there's nothing there (nor anywhere else in ...AppData\Local\CEF\). It would be convenient and useful if the .bdic file were plain-text, so it could be readily merged with existing user dictionaries; but I'll be anything that it is binary and non-editable.

Thanks, @Austin G. I'll wait for your updates. I do have two further questions, if you or anyone can answer them. The first has to do with communication. Was there anything in the release notes about the taking-down of the spelling functions? Leaving users to just randomly discover that on their own is a textbook exercise in alienating customers. Pretty it up in the release notes however you want; give it lipstick and put a bow in its hair; but for heaven's sake tell us what's coming. Secondly, "necessary updates" is rather vague. I'm not disputing whether that's appropriate. But I'd like to hear from other users who (unlike me) have continued to update about what has been fixed or is working better in the newer versions. Assuming that there is some kind of plan to improve rather than degrade the software, how is it manifesting? That's off-topic for this thread, so please respond to my post here:

I don't do Evernote beta testing (can't afford the time), but I find it just astounding that something like this got through beta. I would assume that the testers flagged it, and whoever approves releases just said, "Oh well." Only an assumption; but if anyone knows better, please inform me.

I'm still on v. 6.5.4, and over the last several months have seen a long litany of features reported here as being removed or no longer working properly. I haven't heard one instance of anything being added or changed that significantly improved functionality. Oh wait, there's improved table functioning, no doubt a real improvement for many, at a cost of merely adding pointless huge margins to every note for every user. V. 6.5.4 works great for my purposes, including the dedicated spell-check window (and functioning user dictionary). I am now firmly committed to never updating again, unless there is some compelling improvement (which would include restoration of spell-check and other features). The trashing of Web clipping in Android only adds to my mystification about what on earth they are thinking.

Spam posting reported.

Same for me. The version number of the update is 7.17. The previous was 7.16.1. I tried clipping the same two pages as I referenced in my previous post, with the exact same result--which was completely unsatisfactory and useless for the second one, just as before. Hard to believe they bothered with this!

I absolutely agree with @gesshoom, @MayurH, and @StuartG. This used to work; then it broke completely; and now it sort of works on a few sites, but largely fails. "Website clipping is tricky" is just not an excuse, since it used to work well! I updated to the current version and tried a couple of clips. An article clipped from the Wikipedia app actually came through well The only real problem was with tabular information, which came through without the tabular formatting. OTOH, the screenshots below show a Web page in my browser, and what Evernote clipped from it--only the material at the bottom of the page, and didn't even format that.

Just reporting that I've also been getting the "Clip failed" consistently the last few days. I have not yet updated to the fix, am dreading it slightly, but will do so and report.

Some programs do automatically uppercase new sentences--word processors like Word and Nota Bene, the writing tool Scrivener. My keyboard app on my Android phone will do the same. Windows Evernote's editor remains very basic in this as in other respects.

I'm afraid it was just random. Don't know if it could be some combination of software, OS, and hardware or what. I am running the latest version of Evernote on an update Samsung Note 8. Wish I could be of some help--this must be monumentally aggravating.

Actually, clipping is working again for me (which doesn't mean that it isn't still broken for many others). I just think that claiming that Evernote does no testing, unless you actually know that for a fact, is not helpful. So, MHO about YHO, and perhaps not very helpful either. I certainly understand the feeling. I've spent much of this morning feeling enraged about a Website that supposedly is looking for writers but seems to have no way of contacting their editors without an existing account.

I only want to comment by asking why you think EN is reading every post. As you know, this is primarily a user-to-user forum; EN employees do look in sometimes, and occasionally respond (as Shane has now done), but there's no promise that they monitor these forums constantly. Would also like your documentation on EN doing unnecessary updates without testing, unless that's just, you know, your opinion. Dave (a recovering ranter myself)

So clearly something serious going on here. I did have a clip fail the other day (but not a lockout), yet today I had it succeed. Both were from the Opera browser on an up-to-date Samsung Note 8 using the most recent Evernote. I hope Evernote responds to the support request quickly.

I don't know what the options are on a Mac, but in Windows when I click the Evernote Web Clipper icon in my browser, it offers (among others), Article, Simplified article, and Full page. If you have those options, do any of them work better than others? Also, does it matter what browser you use?

I totally agree with @arlcrane. I use notebooks as my main organizing tool, and in the last day I may have added or edited notes in 3 or 4 different notebooks. It's not helpful to see my most recent notes in a list; the one I'm currently looking for may be a page down. But if it opened to the notebooks list, the one I want would likely be on the same page. And it's simply much easier to scan 3 or 4 notebook titles looking for what I want than to scan a dozen note titles. In the Android Product Feedback forum, there's a feature request along these lines with 35 votes. Go give it one more! I agree that the widget is very helpful, but this option would be great.

Besides @TheYodiest's good suggestion, the only thing I can think of would be a poor data connection interrupting the clip. Certainly possible, but seems less likely to happen multiple times, unless you're in a location with a problematic connection.

Just a reminder that a similar request already exists and can be voted up: Obviously this is something much-needed.

Upvoted!

I'm on Windows 7. I find the dictionary at C:\Users\{username}\Evernote\Dict\user.dic, rather than in AppData. It's a straight-up text file, so it's easy to edit. That first thread was fairly old, and the second one seemed to be about MS Office. FWIW, in Evernote, Tools > Options > General, at the bottom of the dialog either Open Database Folder or Open Log Folder will get you to the vicinity.

Welcome to the forums, @yusef388! This is a well-known issue, and it has been under discussion in this thread for over a year and a half: Unfortunately, the most recent response there from an Evernote employee ("We are still working on this for a future update. I will let you know as more develops.") was over a year ago. It is really disturbing that they have neglected this for so long. One user suggested that this is how Evernote is bringing the peoples of the Middle East together!

Glad it helped. Some things easy, some things unexpectedly complicated, some things only complicated because I never knew I wanted such a thing before Evernote made it possible. IMHO.

It's possible on the Windows and Mac platforms to merge multiple notes into one. If you don't want them to end up merged, here's what I would do: Create a temporary or utility notebook for this purpose. Copy (don't move) the relevant notes to this notebook. In the temporary or utility notebook, select the notes in the sequence I desire and then merge them (the option shows up automatically in Windows when multiple notes are selected; or use Note > Merge Notes). Print the resulting merged note to PDF or whatever. Delete the now-unnecessary merged note to avoid confusion.

Different platforms have widely differing underlying operating system structures and capability, and differing programming requirements, so it doesn't surprise me that something relatively "advanced" like this is available in some places and not others. It's not possible in the Evernote Web interface either, only on Windows and Mac. I agree that it would be great to have, but I don't know how easy (or even possible) it would be. For me, at least, not being able to merge notes on my Android device doesn't inhibit me from capturing information on it; I just need to go somewhere else to manage the info in certain ways. BTW, these are mostly user-to-user forums; Evernote staff peek in sometimes, but we're not able to address them directly here.

Waaaiiit a minute.... You're making a reasonable point based on experience, in a calm and rational tone of voice. Are you sure you're in the right forum?
