[OSM-newbies] Query about Osmarender layer

[xeen]

Actually these tiles are rendered by users who run the tiles at home
software (at least that's how some tiles get generated, I don't know
if there's another method). The software/script downloads the data
beforehand and then starts rendering immediately. This takes some
time, but not longer than 2-3h on my machine per "render job", so a
week out of date seems odd… maybe someone else can give you a hint
though.

Greetings

The first instance was when the centre of Clacton got re-rendered using data that was over a week old (losing all my recent additions that had been showing previously). More recently (indeed currently, as the rerender request I put in yesterday evening either hasn't got to the top of the queue or didn't help) there is one square covering Thorpe-le-Soken, to the northeast of Clacton, where the sea has rendered as land and the land as sea (i.e. blue).
