  1. yep, me too. 

    Interestingly, news articles I clip in iPad OS or IOS sync (although web clipper doesn't capture the title of the article before saving, it does save it with the correct title), any new note that I create in iPad OS or IOS will not sync. 

    The reverse is not true, however.  If I create a note in MAC OS, it will sync in iPad OS and in IOS. 

    Evernote web has been hosed for me for awhile now (Firefox, Safari or Chrome).  It starts to convert to a new format and then hangs.  So I can't tell if the new iPad note is actually making it to the server.

    I think I found the problem.

    In NordVPN preferences there is a feature called CyberSec that blocks ads and malware; I had it checked.

    Previously it did not interfere with EN, but either something in EN 7.12 changed that caused it to be flagged by CyberSec, or NordVPN changed something in CyberSec that erroneously flagged EN.

    After unchecking this feature, EN is now able to sync while I'm connected to the VPN.

    For anyone else using NordVPN that has the same issue, try turning off CyberSec.

    I think you found it.  I have NordVPN too.  Switched off CyberSec in both IOS & OSX & now I CAN sync thru the VPN.  No idea If it’s EN or VPN, but it started with the EN beta 7.12.

    I guess I won’t miss CyberSec.  But since these are work devices, I kept them screwed down as tight as I can on security settings. And NordVPN has been a remarkable service for me, all around the world. 

    Thx for isolating this issue & the fix. 

  3. As a person who has deep-seated pigeon-hole tendencies myself, it's been a difficult retraining.  But speaking up for tags (and I have 5400+ notes right now), their greatest value is one note appearing in many places based on tags.  It is seldom a note has utility in just a single domain, even if it's not immediately apparent when you gather it.  

    I'll search all my notes several times using different parameters as needed for a project, give them a common tag for that project, and then using that tag gather all those into a special folder for that project.  When I'm finished, I'll create a TOC note as a reminder, and them dump the notes all back into the shared folder with that project tag still attached.   Some of my notes have a dozen tags from being associated with many writing projects.  

    Think of it as 'catch, tag and release' for ideas.  

    Maybe the preference for tags or subfolders really has something to do with innate cognitive differences and personality types/learning styles.   That would be an interesting psych study.  

     

    As an old, old SQL dB development hand, I've watched the machine side go from deep nesting to flatter, fuzzy logic, NO SQL-style of Big Data/HADOOP manipulation.  It's been a jaw-dropping transformation in the data world, which makes me think EN is on the right side of dB history in the tags vs ratholes debate.
