It can take some time for your edits to "appear" in your view. Have a look
at:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendered_Map_Updates
<http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Rendered_Map_Updates>for some more
information. What this tells you is that for each zoom level you are at, it
has to generate a set of image tiles and this can take some time.

You can also change the base layer to "Osmarender", using the "+" on the
slippy map, as this gets updated more frequently than the Mapnik layer.
