Thanks, s2sailor, that was it!

When I try to log in the app, I get an error message, "Client not supported, please upgrade". Since EN has no actual support, I'm forced to post here and hope some other user has had the same problem. And yes, I did try the EN help, but it has only a few choices, none of which are relevant. Does someone know what's wrong?

Says who ? 

Ah yes, a user who never complained when prices did not raise, since 2016. Did it ever cross your mind that everything gets more costly, just as a miracle the cost of this service remained flat ?

OK, now you got the answer: First they nearly broke the company by sticking to the unsupportable legacy hodgepodge of clients, then they innovated, but couldn’t turn it into being profitable, and then the former owners decided enough is enough, and sold out.

Not your fault, but do you really expected the new owners to buy into running a charity ?

Everybody of us users can take his data, and move on. Why don’t you refrain from showing bad judgement, and use your wits to find the best alternative for yourself ?

They'd have been much smarter to raise the price a few dollars every few years than $15 in one year, just common sense in how you treat your customers. As to looking for an alternative, I don't want to spend the next couple of months moving 800+ notes to another platform while learning something entirely new. They've got people like me over a barrel, and they know it, it's just bad business to make it clear that they could care less about their customers. 

These new rates are unbelievable! Talk about price gouging!!! 42% up in one increase. Bunch of goddamn crooks who can't program effectively but sure no how to ***** on the customers!

Thanks!

I'm on EN +

Well, it must be paid then because I have created and used them in the past. Unfortunately, there's no indication anywhere of what my status is. 

agsteele I don't know, can't find any indication of that in my profile. I don't recall paying recently, so I"m guessing free. 

I have done some testing and found very inconsistent and confusing results across 3 platforms. "Save as Template" is there and working on my iPad, in theory. When I try and use the template, it is not listed with the EN templates. There is a "More templates" option in the list of templates but I can't access it because I can pull it onto the screen enough to see it but not enough to tap on it! It was grayed out in the online version until I created one on the iPad, and it was there and working again briefly. It is grayed out again now. It is not there at all on my Mac. The one I did manage to create on the iPad is not available on any platform, so effectively useless. 

I want to create a template but in the Mac version it's not there and online, it's grayed out. It has a table in it. What happened?

Sorry, I can't remember exactly how I got this. I copied something into the note and got this weird looking thing that does nothing as far as I can tell. Has anyone else ever seen this? Know what it does, if anything?

I occasionally get these "things" when I try to save a web page to EN. Are they of any use?

Actually, it wasn't "launched" in 2008, it was purchased. (I've been using it since 2006.) The new owner stripped it of all its amazing, for the day, features and broadened its base to make it multi-platform capable. Since then, they've been far more interested in adding new features to increase sales than fix serious issues and numerous bugs that have plagued EN since. I.e., "Shortcuts" on one platform and "favorites" on another and apparent (thankfully, not real but certainly panic-inducing) complete loss of data (after upgrades) several times.

What you're saying doesn't make sense to me. I've edited many notes over the years and never "closed" it, or any other app, on mobile devices (who does?) and it doesn't make dupes. Only this more frequently edited note does this problem occur. This would also seem to rule out network issues. It's hard for me to fathom that you and others either close EN on your mobile devices every time you use it or go and close it every time you're planning on editing an existing note. Is that really what you and others do? It would mean that I'd have to remember to close EN on my computer every time I open it because every time I edited a note on a mobile device and EN was still open on my computer, it would create a dupe. That doesn't happen. I'm confused. 

I appreciate your efforts to educate me Pink, and you're right, "I don't want to learn." After being on the cutting edge with computer tech for most of my life, (wrote my first code while in engineering school in '66, started using an IBM PC at work in '84, first home DOS-based computer in '87, on the net in '89 and so on through the 90s), I've lost interest in how they work, I just want them to work. When I find a notes app that makes me "turn it off", an archaic concept these days (who "turns off" the apps on a mobile device?) just to be able to make a small change in a note on another device is an archaic app. What I'm hearing is that I should remove the app from two of my three devices as to avoid making duplicate notes by changing existing notes on multiple devices, something I only have to do for EN. So now I have to come up with a work-around for this serious glitch which I am loathe to do but have been doing for decades. I'll figure it out. But thanks for trying to educate a stubborn, ignorant old *****!

Thanks for your replies. Pink Elephant, I appreciate you are trying to help, but either you just don't get that not all of us are network experts or you're trying to impress. Either way, it doesn't really help. Besides, I have better things to do than installing cables (in 2022?) and spending hours testing my equipment. 

What I'm hearing from the rest of you is that EN doesn't really sync across multiple devices. What other app requires you to close it on other devices to make changes to an existing note? My task manager doesn't require this, nor does my Photos app, or any other. This is a HUGE design flaw that is unique in my experience to EN. If everyone else can make this work, why can't they? Does everyone else remember to "close" the app on their various devices every time they open it in another? Really? 

Thanks for the replies. Since I have no idea what "latency, Jitter and Package loss" are, I'm going with duplicates created by having EN open on multiple devices. I guess I have to print out all versions of the note and correct one version, then delete the others. Is that the best fix?

I have a note I make frequent changes to on all my devices. Evernote keeps creating more and more copies of that note instead of just modifying it.  Is something broke in here?

The magic wand is as well used if you want to edit a web clip. The only downside: The original clip is converted, and it can't be restored.

Why would that be a problem?

Thanks for your reply.  I don’t know and can’t test it because the link is now lost. 

You can see the problem in the picture below. I save this image to Evernote and you and shows in the thumbnail but there’s a lake thing in the note, no picture. Does anyone know of a fix so I can see the full picture in the note?

Sometime ago I saved some webpages into Evernote. Now those same webpages are scrunched into a narrow column. I can scroll sideways and see the entire page, but I can’t see the full width of the page without scrolling sideways. Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I was confused by that long string of code you said you put in to prevent it from being a checklist. So the only difference is that in a checklist when you check it off it puts strike out on that item? Sounds pretty dumb but I really don’t care as long as I can do checkboxes. As a long long long time user of Evernote, I can say that Evernote programmers have never been the sharpest tools in the shed. It has had serious problems with functionality since the new guy took over. I think that was 2008.

Thanks for your reply. How did they decide to make this so confusing? You type 50 characters in front of the box in order to prevent it from assuming it’s a checklist? And what’s the difference between a check box or a checklist? Isn’t a checklist just multiple checkboxes?

Really? I've got templates with checkboxes, very handy feature. Why do you have to delete features every time you add some? You've been doing this for years! Way to sabotage your users, just like always!

This problem is back again tonight. I can see the thumbnails but when I click to open the note, the box is blank. Another fatal EN glitch! What *****!
