Cannot save?

[Daos]

I followed the download guide and yet it still wont save.

Running Windows 7 and Firefox.

I really like the idea of this, can anyone help?

(Also, how well does this typically handle large amounts of text?)

There are so many different flavors and versions of TW out there, would be best if you were more specific.

For example, "latest version standalone empty.html from TiddlyWiki.com" - FYI = v2.6.5

You may have problems with recent browser versions, I've found the last v3.6 FF to be bulletproof, and you can run a "portable" version of that if you want to keep the newer one installed.

I've put in pretty large "book's worth" of text, but can depend on how complex your plugins get. But on reasonable hardware, even when it starts to slow down it's still OK doing regular navigation. Scripted operations of course can vary widely.

As a newcomer to TiddlyWikki, I am also struggling with these issues:
how to upload, not using latest Firefox, different servers (e.g
tiddlyspot) (which give different outputs to the same wikki),
different versions.

I really like the idea of tiddly wikki, but am thinking of dropping it
as it seems hard to get clear direction.

Can some help be given to new comers?

There is a consensus here that the project really needs more centralized documentation, especially howto's for newbies.

In the meantime I highly recommend for "mere-mortal end users" that you spend your first months or two getting to know TW in its traditional all-in-one-HTML form, starting out with the core and later on trying out the most popular plugins. For minimum headaches, I recommend the last version of FF 3.6, available as a portable app if you need to also have a newer version installed.

From there, if server-side storage is critical for you, pick one and work with it for a while. Or, continue your theming/plugin education by reverse-engineering some of the "packaged distros" (core+theme+plugins).

The list here is very helpful, but of course only if you have specific questions and in the case of problems, provide the needed specific information on your setup.

If you'd rather use something with a flatter learning curve, let us know what you're trying to accomplish and I'm sure you'll get some good recommendations.
