Yes.  As I said the message in Evernote is just misleading.

I have a notebook set in settings, but sometimes webclipper put the note in a totally different place.  I checked settings for webclipper and that was the problem, there it said to use smart filing.  I believe the wording should be changed in Evernote settings, as it says "Evernote’s Web Clipper will also use this as its default notebook" and it's clearly not doing that.

Hi Dave, To be honest I am not sure how it happens and I'm not sure how to re-create it (other than youtube videos which are always consistent).  I always cntl-C cntl-V, and most of the time the clip comes in as formatted text, or I change I do a "paste and match style".  But sometimes it comes in with a border around it and says "web clip" and is a preview.  The only way to read the whole thing is to expand that preview.   

I see now on the youtube ones how to change it back to a link.  So next time this happens with text I'll play with your suggestions and see what is different about the ones that come in that way, and see if they have that same ability to take away that "web clip" format.

Wasn't using the web clipper, and yes I do paste as plain text without formatting often.  The problem was when these previews came in, or what they call "web clips" even though I do a cut and paste.  (i'm not sure how ever to recreate that, it just happens now and then.)  

The gray bar at the top is the key for the previews; I see now I can convert those to plain links.  

I'd still rather be able to set my preferences and not do another step each time but it's better.

And FYI, I first posted under "feature requests" and I got blasted for doing that, even though it seems like a feature request to have a setting.  Then I posted under Evernote support and it was moved to general conversations.  I don't get it.  I can't seem to find how to contact support (they say to go to the forums), or any way to post without offending someone..

When I cut and paste something into Evernote, I just want text, not a "web clip" which is hard to edit and tends to bring me back to the page,  and not a "youtube clip" image which takes up a lot of screen real estate.  Please let us turn this off so we can have just basic formatting.

The category I posted under is "feature request".  That is wrong?

And I have no idea why the word feature is replaced with ***** in my original post.  I did not swear in my original post.

I hate when I paste something into a note and it turns it into a "web link."  Or I paste a youtube URL, and you waste a bunch of my screen real estate pasting it as a graphic of the video.

Why don't you allow us to turn this ***** off if we don't like it?  There apparently used to be an options to do so, but no more.

Teams makes only sense when a group of people permanently (!) collaborate. There needs to be an admin, there is access control on the notebook level by Spaces etc. Below at least 3 people in an organization it doesn’t make any sense to me.

Professional is what I see for a freelancer, project manager or consultant who needs to temporarily (!) organize the work of a group.

Personal is that, for personal use as the former Plus and Premium plans. You can collaborate as well, but only by sharing notes.

For me it is enough - I really don’t want to imagine if I went Professional, and would assign the first task to my wife … 😱

Exactly.  Personal is what evernote was created to do.  MAKE NOTES!  I don't care about anything else except finding those notes.  All the other stuff is WORKFLOW and I have no interest in a workflow product.  And if I did I'm not sure I'd want them combined anyway.  If I had work I was doing in EN I think I'd want my own personal account anyway for my own personal notes that aren't attached to the company.

Thank you for this line. I feel exactly the same way and it heavily contributed to my decision to move on from EN last year.
I've been reading forum posts here periodically since all the v.10 problems started and have rarely come across someone saying outright that they value this.
So this means a lot to me.

I wouldn't say I'm surprised to see die-hard EN loyals act the way they do. Still, I used to feel disheartened, and now am often just numb witnessing how dismissive some users can be to other frustrated users who are in distress about their once-fav app not working properly, complaints/missing feature requests that have gone cold etc. Many here seem to have an 'as long as it's working for me...' and 'if you don't like it, shut up and just leave' attitude.

Anyway, not trying to start a discussion on ethics here. Just wanted to point out I appreciate that another fella user care about these things.

Yes, I agree.  If people don't agree why do they need to say anything?  We're just giving complaints so EN can see them, so what's the harm to the people who don't care about these things?  I suspect the people who are discounting the complaints either haven't used EN for long and don't have tens of thousands of notes to try to sort through, and maybe have companies or professional careers to pay for their professional plans. 

I am fine with charging people more for advanced features, but I don't have a team and to-do's, and I don't care about 99% of evernote features.  I just want a place to store notes and be able to find them.  So to me there is no higher priority than trying to make it easy for us to find our info.  Regardless how much you pay.  Make everything else a higher tier but not search.

I had a similar reaction as you when I first tried v10... except not quite so extreme.

 

Mine is super slow too.  I have tens of thousands of notes so maybe that is why.  But it's getting unruly.

I don't understand, in-note search works for me in 10 with Ctrl-F

Yep, someone just said that they just fixed that.  I've still mostly been using Legacy so didn't have that update.  At least they listen to feedback. 

It's also disingenuous to say they're not taking anything away when they JUST took some away a few months ago when they moved to the new version from the legacy version.  For example, we could pin notes before, they took that away recently.  But now, surprise!  You can have it back with professional.

I don't know about "sacred", but I've always valued Evernote's extensive search feature    
that continues to be supported at all plan levels, including Free/Basic

Nope, look at the chart of features by plan.  Only the professional has boolean searching.

You missed the points for existing customers
- price not increasing
- not losing any existing features

Chicken Little was wrong

Disagree with that.  Searching got way worse when they got rid of the control F from legacy, and now they want you to upgrade to professional to do boolean search.  

I've telling everyone who will listen about Evernote for years, but I'm pretty much done.  I'll find something else when my subscription ends.  If there is one single thing that is most important in a sea of information it's being able to find it.  First they took away the control-F to find within a note, which makes me crazy daily.  And now you will have to be at a  "professional" level to use boolean search?  It's an insult.  

You want to give higher features to higher plans, make it actual features like calendaring, tasks, etc.  But searchability of your product is sacred and should be in the most basic of plans, or there is no value to having Evernote.

I went back to legacy a while ago, but the past few days it's freezing up a lot.  Anyone else having this issue?

This is horrible.  Is it possible to downgrade back to the old version?  Damn I'm kicking myself.  I've just saved my first article and 7 minutes in and still no sync.  Mine never syncs until I hit the button, which I do every time to make sure the formatting is readable and not screwed up.  Without a sync button this is simply unusable for me.

OK well maybe I just didn't have the latest client version then.  Although normally pops up and tells me so I'm not sure why that would be.

what is rolled back? the version u r mentioning is the same i m running. don't know what u mean

 

There were notes on their twitter feed saying they've been having problems and rolled back some changes, so I downloaded the latest version which included rolling back those changes.

Are you still having issues?  What version of EN are you running?

I upgraded to the new "rolled back" EN and it's been better.  6.13.14.7474 (307474) Public (CE Build ce-48.0.5483)  

Some notes still open slowly so I don't think that's related though.

I'm having so many issues with evernote on windows 10.  It's been happening for weeks; way before this recent problem they're mentioning.  But maybe since the last release?  I don't know when that was in comparison.

Basically some notes I click on take forever to open.  Now admittedly, I think my internet has been having issues, but I don't see how the internet should be an issue if I'm not syncing.  All the notes should be stored locally on my drive.  So that shouldn't cause evernote to hang, right?  Should I turn off auto-sync? (I have it set to every 15 minutes)  

Is there a way to "repair" a note that might be causing issues?  For example, my "to do list" note is constantly a problem.  I have been editing it since 2014.
