The desktop release notes already say that thumbnail changes will follow content changes - which is an indirect way to offer some control. Whether it's also possible to select which image becomes the new thumbnail remains to be seen...

There's two levels of additional support - more experienced members members such as yourself have been known to pass links and comments back when things have gotten a bit spicy, and there's the Report button system for everyone which goes back to the employee admin team who seem to take action now and then... I did think about asking for volunteers, but again I think any 'official' offers have to be made by Evernote - I don't know what their longer-term plans are.

We do have some abilities - I can delete both posts and -if pressed- people; but the rules of engagement are a bit lacking. I felt (a tiny bit) guilty today deleting someone's post that had a hidden link to their own commercial website - I've not given them a direct warning, but today it was the post - if it happens again it'll be the user. I'd only say - if anyone sees a post that is obviously spam, or gets some personal abuse, feel free to report it and/ or DM me or @s2sailor - we seem to be the active mods at present. I already suggested some rule changes, and I gather there's some internal thinking going on about ways to make the Forums more accessible (and less scary) for new users. It's a question of waiting for Evernote's lead, but the Mods do have an inside line where we can pass suggestions on - and this thread is already being watched more closely than most; so they're already aware things can get out of hand. I'm expecting the "but I preferred the old Forum" posts to start before the end of the year...

I'd far rather have staff engaged in Support or Development than explaining or defending features here - plus it's always difficult to comment publicly on issues if you're aware of background information that you're not supposed to share (another old t-shirt I have somewhere...). When users can get a timely reply (like within 10 days) after contacting Support, the lack of presences here should be less critical.

Hi. We're mostly other users here. To tell Evernote about an issue, or a feature you'd like considered, use - feedback@evernote.com - but don't expect a response (other than 'thanks'). If you use 'X', @fedesimio is quite active there.. Contact Support for a direct response - https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/requests/

I love AI explanations... that one is almost correct. But you don't necessarily see 'files and folders' in the local storage - depends on your OS. And backups need to be at Notebook level, not Note: and ENEX is not human readable: and offline access requires that you download your notes to the local device first and don't log out of the app... and there's more, but I can't be bothered. So please - don't post AI stuff here unless you are sure the content is correct. Otherwise it will be deleted.

Hi. Mostly other users here, not Evernote. You need to contact them direct or maybe via 'X'.

Hi. Beware that third-party links may not work consistently since Evernote is still in the process of upgrading its server operations. One integration that will already publish notes as blog pages is Postach.io and if you can find a way to move content from one web page to another you might be able to use that to service a WordPress site - or maybe just use your WP site as a portal to some Postach.io pages...

Hi. If you currently have any part of the app installed, use Revo Uninstaller Free to remove it - then power your device off and on again, and download the latest version from Evernote.com. You need Windows 10 or 11 to use the app - if you still have issues, please confirm your device and Windows version...

Not sure what's happening with Events, Tasks and Reminders. Evernote Calendar on desktop now includes Events and Tasks but not reminders - except Events can now be linked to notes (with reminders) and Tasks have reminders built-in... That should translate to mobile apps soon, but you may need to look at changing your workflow...

Hi. There are some help screens on authentication here - also a link to Support/ CS. It may take some time for them to respond... (There should be a 'guest' access if you have trouble logging in with the original account details...) https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us

The Evernote app will also scan and save, and there are third party apps from Adobe and Microsoft which will do the same. Not sure who owns Scannable any more, or whether it will be developed further...

No - but the presence of highlights vary depending on what content you're searching through.

Hi. Not sure what's happening in Events, Tasks and Reminders thus far - Evernote is currently (I believe) working on Mobile features - I'd suggest you feed your concerns back to the company and see what shakes out. If you use 'X', @fedesimio is quite active there...

It's already in the pipeline - coming in an update soon.

More AI nonsense removed here.

<Sigh> - Gift horse: mouth: both @Jon/t and I have confirmation through 'other channels' that Evernote has eyes on this thread. You can take the help that's being offered, or you can choose to continue in conspiracy mode. Your choice...

If we're going to spend all our time Golluming through old notes, no-one is going to get any work done! If you find an issue, report it! Until then, assume nothing is wrong - or find another provider.

DM @Gianluigi Oliva

I sympathise with the frustration. The folks at Evernote seem pretty smart - @Jon/t and others have alluded to a major database revamp that is presumably under way, and it may be that actively poking the systems is what's contributing to the issue; the company presumably believe that once the final version is released it will be the cure for all our woes, but they're not going to announce that in advance in case that isn't the case. I believe that there's a lot of work going on in the background that we haven't seen the benefit of - yet; but like I said - you need to hold on if you can, or find an alternative if you can't. Ranting may relieve some tensions, but it won't get anything done faster ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm also assuming that Big Things are in the pipeline, and Evernote is taking the usual corporate route of not pre-announcing because 1) it helps the competition and 2) is likely to spark off more arguments and demands for new features other than the ones in development. I've not (AFAIK) been affected by the anonymous file issue - maybe because of my relatively new devices, my 'expertise', or my workflows; not saying it's not real, but without an active Support team dealing with individual cases, it's hard to know whether or not this is a serious issue. For what it's worth, my suggestion is always to report issues you find - from my experience running a support team (and regardless of whether you get any response) the sheer number of reports on any given topic will drive company priorities. In normal circumstances not getting a quick reaction means it's likely that your issue is not a common one... although given recent experience it's easy to believe otherwise. Big corporates don't always have the same priorities as individual users - the Spooners have taken on more companies than 'just' Evernote, and the support team may be the least of their current concerns. They have to take whatever decisions they deem best for their interests, and as users, so do we. I'm not currently affected by any serious issues, so I'm staying with Evernote. If you have a different experience but can find work-arounds, then your decision may be harder; if there are no usable work-arounds then plenty here can (apparently) suggest alternative systems... entirely your choice.

Hi. What version numbers of Windows and Evernote do you use? I have Win 11 and Evernote 10.88.4 and I don't seem to have this issue...

Not even sure that flagging threads is having any effect at the moment, but I'll try...
