TiddlyWiki doesn't use browser local storage out of the box. There is a plugin, which needs to be activated, if you want to do so. I did make some tests after responding to your first post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/D2bTSNatTrA>. (BTW: duplicating threads isn't best practice!) You should be able to use the "Browser-based local storage" plugin.

The save process (depending on your internet connection speed) may need several seconds to upload the content. If you start it 2 or more times, the github server may be confused and returns 409 response error <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/409> AND more important. If the index.html file is commited it can take several minutes (depending on how busy github is) till the gh-pages are updated. So save and immediate reload will probably download an _old_ wiki!!!! ----------- How to install the local storage plugin: - Open the ControlPanel : Plugins tab - Click [Get more plugins] button - Click [Open plugin library] - Search for "local" - "Browser-based local storage" is the one you want - Save to github - Wait a little bit - Reload the wiki (Shift F9) - and make sure, that it's the one with the plugin. - Save again!!! This is important, otherwise the local-storage sync isn't active on reload Afterwards do some testing, if the local storage is really synced. ... I managed to screw up the mechanism, and I think I found an issue BUT more testing is needed. have fun! mario -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
