[talk-au] Why aren't my maps rendered? (yes I have read the FAQ!)

Are your changes visible here? (I this is the area you're talking
about...)

This map is hosted on my desktop at home so may be slow - only have a
1mbit uplink.  I'm keeping it up-to-date around Perth as a way of
previewing my own changes, and it contains a map of Australia as it was
yesterday.

The main mapnik layer seems to take much longer to update than I first
expected.  It happens eventually, but there can potentially be up to a
two week lag between edits and Mapnik's map updating.  I found this
quite disappointing when I first started mapping my area - I'd made huge
changes and nothing showed up for ages!
