Yeah, @DaveM I'm gonna wait until I have some useful info to hand over. I'm going to follow your lead and try events with and without notes, etc

Hi all! Received a message from support suggesting this may be fixed in 10.43.7, but I'm still seeing it.

• None of my impacted events are repeating events, for example; looking at my last three Saturdays, I can see repeating events for all of them, but one-off events for any given two will appear momentarily and then "pop out" again.
• Refreshing the browser just randomises which days are affected. This is a bit of a Schrödinger's cat ... 😺🧰
• The calendar widget does feel snappier overall, so I can see some work has been going on behind the scenes.
• After some patience (!) I was able to send support a screen recording of events appearing and then "popping out" a second later. 
• I'm going to have a deep dive into this again; clear all my caches and see if I can pinpoint exactly what is liable to cause the problem. 

What are you guys seeing?

Thanks @josiahcsmith! - I'll wait and see what happens ....

"which I would have thought would be a problem for Google,  much less Evernote..."

lol! Nah - that bit works fine; you can actually connect up to five accounts on the professional tariff. 

I'm seeing this too 😕 It's making any productive use of the note / events link impossible.

• @agsteele I have to go further -  clearing all the EN cookies in my browser (I'm on the web) and then re-connect both my gcal accounts (I use two) to get the events to reappear in the widget. Then random ones will disappear - ie; they will "flash" on screen for a moment, and then vanish until I go through the "delete cookies" palaver again.
• Interestingly; when I have a note connected to a couple of events on the same day and click on the calendar button, each will show only that event, but not the others. The calendar widget will remain blank.
• @josiahcsmith- I wonder if you reported this to support, and how far you got?

Support just informed me (thank you!) this is fixed in 10.42. Update hasn't rolled out here yet, but I'll give it some robust attention when it does. @DrFrankBuckwe have British Summer Time in the UK which also seems to cause no end of difficulties, especially when dates and times are being pulled from one system into another.

Thanks @agsteele - I just heard back, they're seeing the same issue and it's been passed to the technical team.

Hi - I'm going to raise a support ticket and link this thread; I wanted to find out if anyone else is seeing this, or maybe has a solution

• I have two Google calendars linked to my account. Now "all of a sudden" ...
• All-day events are showing on the day before they are due, as well on the day itself.
• I unsubscribed from both calendars, cleared all the caches etc, but the bug persists across all my devices.

Anybody else seeing this? It's making the calendar widget pretty unusable at the moment ...

TIA!

Ok, so you can't put tasks INSIDE tables, but you can use tables IN BETWEEN tasks lists to sort them vertically. Although I would love to be able to sort them horizontally, I guess this works for now.

Let's see if swapping tasks around within a note will ***** things up in the long run.

This is a beautiful hack: I stole it immediately for my system! I keep a lot of "backlog" jobs in checklists, and convert them individually to tasks when they need to show up in the "tasks" workflow. This layout actually makes it look like a table. Genius! Thanks for posting!

Thanks - will report; I tend to have multiple docs attached, so I'm turning them into descriptive hyperlinks as I use them 😕

As to the note title focus; I'm checking my other extensions for a conflict.

Ta!

Hi - I've only seen these issues since the latest update (10.38.2) and I wanted to pick others' brains before raising a ticket.

1. When a Google document of any kind is attached, it now only shows the link address, with a forever-updating progress bar. If I link the document again, elsewhere in the note, the new attachment will have the proper title, and the title of the first attachment will correct itself.
2. When starting a new note, the cursor changes focus to the file list after the first character is typed. For example, if I was typing "Evernote", the new note would be titled "E". (I have the file list in card mode, if that makes any difference)

I've deleted all cookies, logged out and logged in again, etc, etc - which usually sorts my problems. Is anyone else seeing this? (Chrome 102.0.5005.75 ) Any suggestions to mitigate before I raise a ticket?

TIA

I get this a lot - but clearing the cache always works for me. I've even got a hotkey set up! I get "green circled" most days; sometimes twice a day. I know if there's no progress bar within a few seconds - or worse; I get the "Hold on while we get you back to work" pop-up - then I've got a reset coming. Web-only user; pro plan. I think it has something to do with having multiple instances of EN open across several virtual desktops.

This!

Also 100% agree on power of having tasks sit inside your notes, instead of attaching your notes onto a task. It really plays to EN's strengths, when you get used to it.

The latest beef is it takes hours to log into the EN web, I left it running the green circle of death all yesterday and at some time last night it logged in, by this morning it wanted to reconnect, it's been trying to connect for about 4hrs so far.

I've been getting this issue most days for a month or so; if the green progress bar across the top doesn't appear, it's never going to load. For me, starting EN in a new window can sometimes get me the green spinner of doom while existing EN instances in another window keep working fine. Support suggested clearing the EN cache, and while that did work, I've found closing all the browser windows usually sorts it, and a restart always does. It seems to be linked to reconnecting to wifi after a suspend, for me at least, but I haven't managed to suss out an easy workaround so far.

Yeah - I also find this surprisingly useful. I've often forget that I've already researched the "best answer" to something, and yeah - it does "spark" new ideas, on occasion.  You do need to have a fair amount of appropriate content in your EN, though, or it's just going to be like a magic 8-ball.  

I can add that this is working as expected on web 10.32.4. The tag filtering seems to work too; with top-level tags presenting a dropdown list. Hope this gets fixed for you ASAP as this is a real step forward.

Fixed it - I needed to delete all the site data

Hi - is anyone else seeing this? I can currently still access EN only via a browser window I had left open in the background. When I try and open a new instance I get the spinning circle. I wonder if this might have anything to do with the new update? Chromebook user, UK.

Now,  years later,  I actually like it - and it's correct with both notebook and tags a lot of the time. 

Guys - I turned off "smart" filing and now clip straight to an "inbox" folder, which I clear out every day. If it put it back on, will it actually learn? Is there some kind of network AI, or was that as "smart" as it's going to get?

Nimbus Notes has basic calculations, percentage completed and so on in their tables. I find even a small table with no calculations slows down the page loading, but others might be OK with it. EN is much snappier, and also allows image embedding in tables. I feel it's horses for courses here, and EN's tables suit my use case better. 

Also 100% agree! The tasks home screen widget is pretty underpowered as well. Since tasks are part of the "new" Evernote; we can at least hope they've got something better lined up and this is just a proof of concept.

Web user here - the app link would actually better for the web too, otherwise there are soon half a dozen windows open. What I have to do each time I drag in a note is: click the link, get the app link in the new window, close the window, Ctrl K the link on the original note and insert the copied app link. It's not something I do often....

What is the use case for the web link, anyway?

100% agree. I returned to EN a few weeks ago and am loving it - chromebook user, so web only. I signed up around 2011/12. Can't remember why I ditched. I joined the forum hoping to learn from others' example workflows, etc.

• I'm a writer / researcher / project manager also doing a postgrad part-time and EN offers a strong notes workflow which is rooted in note content: not links between notes, as is the vogue today.
• I think how the new features are sat "on top of" the old EN model is very cunning. With the filtered notes widget in particular,  the "home screen" is a powerhouse for me. I'd love to see multiple swappable "homes". 

I'm not blind to the flaws, and I understand why so many here are furious. I have long-standing pro accounts with Notejoy and Nimbus, both solid apps. In just a few weeks I've seen bugs in EN that've made my head melt, and have raised many here and with support. Also, I can't believe EN doesn't yet have many basic web app features, like a back button menu. It feels like EN have a clear vision, but have flubbed the balancing act with the old pros. Nevertheless, I'd still just like to learn more about other user's workflows ...

BOOX NOVA 3 user here! Due to the inevitable screen lag and ghosting of eink screens, I can only get along with that old warhorse Simplenote and a new-ish KEEP=like app; Bundled. Both of these have web clients for your desktop and work pretty much lag free. Another option might be to look at using interactive pdfs with the pen. The ONYX BOOX user groups on Reddit and Facebook have loads of free templates. And always worth checking out Voja's guides, if you don't know them already.

Each time I start, I get ten minutes into it make little progress.  It's a big job. 

Don't worry! Ten minutes everyday tidying the shed and leaving it ready to use - even if the shed isn't as tidy as you'd like - is better than an hour dragging everything out and leaving things in a muddle. I feel what works best is to always aim for the minimum structure you can get away with to do what you need to do.

There's been a debate over organisation around folders (in EN; notebooks and stacks) and tags almost since the very first item was indented in the very first outliner. @DTLow is a noted "taggist"; but here I think he is right. Using search to find notes when you need them is more useful and much less stressful than creating and maintaining an elaborate hierarchical notebook structure. You can then tag those notes, save the search, etc, as and when you need to.
