Here's what Evernote Support replied, about removing the constant slash-command prompt 😡🤷🏻‍♂️

I have exactly the same grievance, as I really don't need to be reminded of a feature I don't use, literally every time I press Enter. For what it's worth, I've opened a ticket with Evernote Support to see whether/when it will be removed (or at least turned into a feature that can be disabled via the Note settings), and I'll post back here once I get a response. Hopefully sooner rather than later, before I resort to the optional drug use that @gazumped helpfully suggested above 🫠

Thanks for answering, @gazumped. I'm at home, on a normal Wifi network, on a Macbook Air, and using v.10.78.2. In the meantime, I was away from EN for about an hour...I've just gone back to it, and things seem to be working again (whereas they noticeably weren't before), so maybe it was just a server issue, yes. All good now — thanks again 🙂

Since this morning, I can no longer: open certain frequently-used notes, which aren't particularly heavy or full of links and images. They're basically just text. attach images via the EN helper "screen-shot/screen-cropper" function, which I use a lot. EN will spend about a minute buffering (or whatever the little rotating circle is in the middle of the screen, telling me "one moment while we attach your file"), and then I get an error message saying "Something went wrong when adding your attachment. Please try again." Obviously, "trying again" yields the same lack of results. (I have looked through the forums using various keywords, but haven't found anything describing what I'm experiencing.) I uninstalled EN completely and reinstalled it, and I'm still having those same problems. Is anyone else having them? Perhaps I need to do a clean? Many thanks +++ Edited to add: As of now, I can't create a new note, either.

Interesting. Thanks for the additional info, PE.

Apologies, and thanks.

I just noticed that the Evernote (for Mac) user interface has been tweaked yet again. Now, when I create a note, the text remains left-aligned by default...but it seems to include a left-hand margin that is so wide that, at first glance, it almost looks like my text is centre-aligned. Checking as of now, the right-hand margin is similarly abnormally wide. Is there any way of reducing / re-aligning the margins, so that text / note content looks more normal? I do not need a 1-to-2 inch margin all around my note.

Thank you, @agsteele — that's particularly helpful, since I'm based in Switzerland. 👍

Hello, Does anyone know the legal/privacy ramifications of this policy update? I opened my account from a country outside of the US, Canada, or Brazil (I'm in Switzerland), so my account was handled by Evernote's Swiss subsidiary. Now that it's apparently being migrated to a subsidiary in the US (along with everyone else who isn't based in the 3 aforementioned countries), what does that change? I'm not sure about the assurances of "no impact on your use of the Evernote Service", as I'm fairly certain privacy and data protection laws are different in the US. Any thoughts?

Thank you, PinkElephant. I'll follow your advice on the forum thread regarding laggy EN on Windows (AppCleaner, Uninstall, Re-download), and see if it works. Will report back here via edit of this comment. EDIT: Thanks again — I had to reapply my personal settings/views/sort options, but other than that, it worked a charm. Steps I took: > Downloaded AppCleaner and used that to uninstall Evernote. > Shut down Mac completely. > Restarted Mac; went to EN website and re-downloaded/reinstalled latest EN >> Keyboard and trackpad reactivity are now back to normal 🎉 I'm marking @Boot17's answer above as the solution for this thread specifically, but the original suggestion in the link provided is from @PinkElephant. Thank you both.

Hello Boot17, thanks for the helpful links — I'll have a look at them shortly. I'm running the most recent Evernote version for Mac (see image). I'm not sure I want to temporarily defect to the web version, as I find that even more user-unfriendly. At the moment, the only version of Evernote that's functioning in an acceptable way is what I have on my Android smartphone. I'll raise this with Support via the chat function to see what's going on, but there's something like a 9-hour time difference. Will post back here with any news. Cheers!

Thank you — then it's not just me!

Hello, I'm using EN on a Macbook Air (macOS 14.1.1). After getting prompted just now to update, the scrolling feature in EN is now extremely laggy. I use a column layout (left, notebooks; middle, notes; right, note preview), and in any of the panes, when I want to scroll up or down using my trackpad, EN doesn't immediately respond. I've just noticed there's a similar lag when clicking on "New" to create a new note or task: the drop-down menu only slowly fades into view (takes 5-10 seconds), and the same with right-clicking anywhere, to pull up the options menu. If I do multiple rapid "scroll-ups", for example, it seems to accumulate my commands, and then it shoots to the top of the column. It's like the upgrade has removed any fine-motor, precision control of how users can scroll. I've also seen that the "Backlinks" feature and the "Move Note" button within the notes have been removed, but that's not my main concern. (In the case of the "Move Note" button, it hasn't been removed, but it's become invisible — if I hover over where it used to be with my cursor, the function still exists.) Anyone else experiencing this? EDIT: Actually, it's laggy, overall. Even when writing in a new note, the words I type don't appear immediately (like they do in this post right now, for example). I can finish typing a whole word before it starts to appear in the EN note. The overall responsiveness any keyboard actions/commands has been significantly eroded.

Thank you, agsteele. That seems to have improved things somewhat. I'll keep an eye on this and toggle that setting if the problem reoccurs.
