How do I just SAVE a jsFiddle and not get a new version
JsfiddleJsfiddle Problem Overview
In the documentation:
Buttons Save or Fork are always present in the UI. First one appears if no fiddle was loaded, the latter is used to create a new fiddle from the existing one.
I ONLY see SAVE when the fiddle is brand new, then RUN/update/fork. In Fx4 and Safari 5 on MAC (and Fx 4 on pc)
UPDATE: New BASE functionality does exactly what I wanted.

Jsfiddle Solutions
Solution 1 - Jsfiddle
When you log into JsFiddle, you'll get a Set as Base button, which will make the revision you're working on the base version - think of it as an alias for john/7hd62/12/ -> john/7hd62/.
Solution 2 - Jsfiddle
I ran into an issue where set as base would not save my work. The solution was to:
- make a change.
- Update to get a new version.
- Set as Base.
Hope that helps
Solution 3 - Jsfiddle
I always use Update to save and create a new revision.
I haven't seen the button Save... maybe it is so that we can't Save to a version, but always need to Update to a new version, so everybody can look at the same code at a certain version.
Solution 4 - Jsfiddle
Have a look on Issue #225 in JSFiddle GitHub Repository - URL for the latest version of a fiddle such as /xxxxx/latest/:
> @zalun: Please read http://doc.jsfiddle.net/basic/introduction.html#setting-base-version Sharing a latest fiddle is not always what you wanted. Because anyone is able to save "latest" fiddle, someone would be able to change it to the content you wouldn't like to share. With setting a base version you are the person who chooses which version is shared under default "no version" URL.
