Well this is frustrating. I have had three goes at reporting what
happened when I tried a temp wiki on Tidllywiki, and lost each attempt
due to power cuts. :-(

I can't be bothered with a lot of typing any more, so here's the
bottom line.

Environment:
Home PC - Ubuntu (Karmic), Firefox 3.6.18
Work PC - Windows 7 Enterprise, Firefox 5, IE 8

The temp wiki was created OK (with one tiddler) on the home PC and
saved to the web. No problems.
I loaded it on the work PC using IE 8. And then it got messy with
error dialogs, stack overflows and the dreaded "Error in macro
<<tabs>>" (reported elsewhere).
Despite error dialogs I was able to edit the one tiddler, but the
attempt to save to web failed with the same error as reported before.
Firefox 5 fared better (no error dialogs), but to also did not save to
web - as before, I got "About to save..." then nothing.
Oh, and Firefox 5 also displayed the "Error in macro <<tabs>>" error,
from the moment I finished the trial edit tof the tiddler (before
attempting to save).

Summary of findings
I only use MPTW on Tiddlyspot - this applies to all wikis mentioned
below on Tiddlyspot.
My original old & large Tiddlyspot wiki was upgraded to the latest
wiki sw a few months back. I don't know if that makes it the latest
version or not (I don't know how to find out).
Said wiki always saved OK on both PCs until one day recently after a
large Windows update on the work PC.
Thereafter, attempting save to web on the work PC (Firefox or IE) no
longer completes, but I can still save to web fine on the home PC.
A newly created wiki on Tiddlyspace shows no errors at all - but is
probanly of less use to me, having got used to MPTW.
A newly created MPTW wiki on Tiddlyspot not only fails to save on the
work PC, but also causes IE 8 all sorts of grief, AND I now get "Error
in macro <<tabs>>" under both browsers after editing a tiddler.
"Error in macro <<tabs>>" also occurs now on the home PC, but only on
the new MPTW Tiddlyspot wiki, and only during an otherwise successful
save to web.


What's next?
Grateful for all your help chaps, but I think I am going to  have to
dump Tiddlyspot - I just cannot rely on it, whereas Tiddlyspace seems
to work fine across all the platforms I use.
On the other hand, I do not relish the work involve3d in this, nor
possibly having to give up MPTW features I have grown used to.

Sometimes I really loathe computers.

PS - Phew - I got al lthis typed out (at speed) before the power went
down again. Sorry for any spelling mistakes.
