You update, you get the notification.

I think we are  referring to different types of notification. The one that appears when a new version is  installed is fine, easily read and dismissed afterwards. I'm unhappy about the ones that appear if you click on the bell icon, top left (see TheFryHole's post March 29). Each one of these has to be reviewed one at a time.  Each one takes you away from the program into a browser and in at least one case, to a YouTube video preceded by an ad. This is neither a quick nor efficient way to communicate information. Ironic for a "productivity" app to do things this way IMHO. Yes, I want to be updated, but just not in this time consuming way.

If you want to tell me about a new feature, put it in the list of changes that shows up each time the program updates itself, or send me an email, or put it in a regular note that I can delete easily once I've looked at it. But DON'T do it this way; it is intrusive and annoying

My point I that it is not the notifications per se, its the intusive and distracting way they are delivered.

• I really hate the notifications. I agree with Thefryhole. They take up important screen space and are intrusive, but to make matters worse, clicking on one of the notifications often takes me to a website and away fromthe task I want to complete. And today, it took me to a video on YouTube which was preceded by an advert I could not dismiss. Please understand that this is anti-productive, not at all why I purchase a subscription to Evernote and have done since 2013.  To add insult to injury, even when I have reviewed a notification, it remains in a list of previous notifications. If you want to tell me about a new feature, but in the list of changes that shows up each time the program updates itself, send me an email, or put it in a regular note that I can delete easily once I've looked at it. But DON'T do it this way; it is intrusive and annoying, and it's one more thing that is pushing me away from Evernote towards one of the range of excellent alternatives that cost a lot less, or are free.

Evernote status reports "search is not working as expected". The fact is, search is not working at all and hasn't been for a while. This is unacceptable in a premium product on which I rely extensively throughout my working day.

Obviously I can use the Web Clipper in the way that you suggest for capturing text from HTML webpages, and indeed I frequentlydo.  As an academic however, some of the things I want to store in Evernote are PDFs of articles in research journalswhich are online.  With the older version of Evernote I was able to choose to open these with Evernote and they would simply go into the default notebook.  This is the behaviour I would like to be reinstated, or have the ability to choose, rather than Evernote creating a separate notebook every time.  Incidentally, I am using Firefox for my browser.  I appreciate that I could save the file somewhere on my PC and then later use the right click context menu and do a "send to" Evernote but again, these are extra steps that I would like to avoid if possible.  Hope this makes sense  answers your question. Thank you for your response.

Let's say on the Internet there's a PDF or Word document available as a download and I want to save it to Evernote (currently version 10.3.7 build 2018). In Windows 10, if I choose "open with" and then select "Evernote," the file is imported to a new notebook "imported content+ today's date". In the previous version of Evernote (6+) the content was imported to the default notebook.  It is a real pain having to go into the newly created notebook, manually assign the content to my chosen notebook, and then to have to delete the newly created notebook. Can we not revert back to the original behaviour?  Or at least let the user decide for themselves (in settings) which notebook they want imported content to go to?

Many thanks and just to say, I am getting used to the new Evernote version 10+ on Windows and starting to prefer it to the older version, one or two idiosyncrasies aside!

Hi Dave. I followed the link included in an email from EN inviting me to try the new browser interface. I tried it again this morning and after a considerable delay i.e. 1 minute, the page *did*  load.  Just frustratingly slow. This contrasts with yesterday where it didn't load even though I left it for an hour. I also tried your suggested link and that loaded more quickly - like 10 secs - but still slow. OK my connection isn't very fast but even so .... I'm guessing the link in the invite email took longer because it was processing tracking stuff in the background and maybe it was that which failed or made it slow? Anyway, thanks for your help. At least we have established that it isn't Firefox 70.0 that's the problem!

Just tried to check out the new web interface but I was unable to reach it in Firefox 70.0 (64 bit). I could only get as far as a completely blank page on following URL

Worked OK in Edge however.
