Hi I think I had changed my tiddlywiki.info shortly before in my attempts to address the problem. Restoring the tiddlywiki.info from /server restored save functionality (which I had lost entirely) - but the save function remains faulty.
It appears that this is time related rather than activity related. I thought at first, that my problems were associated with leaving the servers open overnight (save did not function in the morning even though it had been working the evening before.) On further experimentation, it appears that the save function ceases to function after a while even when I am active on the browser. I have opened several servers at one time - done some work on some of them, only to find when returning to an idle server, that the save does not function (even in cases when no activity has occurred on this server since it was started.) Saving appears to cease functioning for no apparent reason after some time - even on servers that I am actively editing. The open copy of the TW appears to be aware of the breakdown - when closing or refreshing the page, a warning is issued to the effect that there are unsaved changes. However, the only way to restore saving is to restart the server and refresh the page (thus losing any edits since the server ceased to function.) Hope this helps identify the problem. regards 2014 11:52:21 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Matabele > > The problem is your tiddlywiki.info file.
