[tw5] Re: tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot site stuck on step 2

[A Gloom]

Pleased to say I finished the setup process using latest version of Opera-- 
Birtha C mentioned Chromium and I've been needing to reinstall Opera so i 
made it a priority.

My gratitude Mat & Birtha C-- especially for the generous offer to upload 
yourself.

Concerning tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot site-- I had no problems understanding 
it, it is well written and laid out-- nice job...

just that FF fails in the setup process-- you may want to make a note of 
that on the setup page.

Hi Mat,

I love your work, but it seems to me, that it is often misunderstood. You 
explain it very well, I would think on http://tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot.com
In fact you do that on the very first lines. 

@A Gloom

Using it you get a copy of Mat's wiki on your own newly created tiddlyspot. 
after creating your new wiki, do not follow the link, but continue on Mat's 
site until finished and saved.
You are still left to deal with your own wiki, to drag and drop or import 
tiddlers into the wiki, you created this way.

I have not had any success uploading any local TW using anything but Chrome 
or Chromium.

Birthe

OK, going into controlpanel was merely a test to ensure that you are using 
the correct password.

Yes, the idea is that the tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot.com wiki is uploaded to 
overwrite the TWC that by default is there when the spot is created.

When you upload the TW5 onto it for the first time, you should use chrome. 
Thereafter it should be no problem to save stuff using FF when you're using 
it. You could perhaps also try it from another computer, who knows.

If you don't succeed in uploading, you can send the tiddlyspot url to me 
and the password, perhaps a temporary one or if you change it afterwards, 
and I can see if I can upload it. I don't have any magic tools or anything, 
I will do exactly what you (probably) are attempting.

Thank you for the quick reply, I saw you fielding questions in earlier 
posts about tiddlyspot problems, so I'm glad you notices my post : )

The control panel for tiddlyspot, I figured

I was able to get into control panel with the same pw I was using in Step 2 
(I've been sopying n pasting from a text file to avoid typing errors-- u 
use convulted pw's)
 
the control panel shows no email set and the creation date/time when I 
created the account-- Step 1 on the tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot site but the 
file size (400 kb) looks like TWC not 5.1.19

I shall try again with FF with another id, then maybe try with TWDesktop, 
not interested in installing Chrome-- I hope TWDesktop uses Windows High 
Contrast Black

or... in a previous post it looked like I could overwrite the TWC with my 
local TW5 file?

Hi A Gloom, I'm the creator of tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot.com (...not of 
tiddlyspot itself). 

See if you actually are the owner of the site ID and it was not already 
taken, e.g by going to the controlpanel of the tiddlyspot, i.e go to: 

http://YOURSITEID.tiddlyspot.com/controlpanel 
 (exchange YOURSITEID for 
your site ID)

(this has nothing to do with the controlpanel tiddler in a TW)

If you cannot log in there, then that site ID was either already taken or 
you have somehow messed up with the password and are not using the same one 
that you registered with. If you cannot access then there is nothing that 
can be done and you should create another tiddlyspot with another site ID.

(BTW if you're on a normal speed internet then that "Step 3" should appear 
within a few seconds. If it hasn't worked within 30 sec or even 20, there's 
no point in waiting more. )
