Kevin, I do not necessarily have the skills to help but are you using vanila node and what platform? presumably a linux flavor.
- Could you have the same wiki open in more than one window/tab/browser? so latest tiddler save wins? - The Bob versions help combat multi-access issues, bob.exe is very easy to use (but may be awaiting 5.1.20) - If you have a link to such wikis you may consider using a link that includes the target=wikname so that every time you click on the link it opens in the save window/tab, presumably you have autosave to immediately save changes? In some single file wikis, I have not looked at on node yet, you could use 5.1.20's local storage plugin to save changes locally, pending the wiki save.
