Returning to TW after several years' absence, I created a wiki on tiddlyspot.com (flavour: Standard).  I edited a couple of tiddlers as per the Getting Started advice then clicked save to web.  Although I see the message "About to upload on http://<myTWname>.tiddlyspot.com/index.html ...Main TiddlyWiki file uploaded" lower down there's also an ominous red "Error while executing macro <<tabs>>" and the explanation "Error while executing macro <<tabs>>
RangeError  Maximum call stack size exceeded". Retrieving the wiki using a different browser shows it hasn't been saved.

I've tried this on Chrome, FF, Opera.  Likely I've missed something obvious, but I don't know where to go from here.  Thanks.

Hi ChrisN, 

a lot has changed (improved) over the past years. TW5 is superior to what is now knowns as TWClassic or TW2. Unless you need the data you put into your  TW (that was just newly created, right?) then I suggest you instead use TW5 upload this to your tiddlyspot (i.e same url). If you need help with this, ask here.

Another option is to go into the backups section of your tiddlyspot and open a previously saved version. I.e the tiddlyspot url but adding the suffix /backup/

Hi ChrisN,

I just tested and it worked for me in firefox. Standard flavour gives you tiddlywiki classic version 2.65. You might want a later version if you prefer tiddlywiki classic http://classic.tiddlywiki.com/

Okay, thank you (and to Birthe C), I'm now on TW5 and I seem to have sorted out saving to tiddlyspot.com.

Now I'm looking for up-to-date (!) tutorials. Is there a TiddlyWiki I can download (for offline browsing while travelling) that contains the information found in tiddlywiki.com?.  I've found TW Tribal Knowledge, which looks good, but I need something more basic to begin with.  Thanks.

You can simply download tiddlywiki.com. There's even a direct button to do that, in GettingStarted on tiddlywiki.com.
