This used to work last week, and it seems to work again today, but 
yesterday I couldn't get the tiles to be redrawn at all.  When I 
reloaded them, the same old cached tile was returned.

But still, all through this last week, it is really rare that any 
streets at all are drawn in view mode.  A more reliable method is 
to open the edit applet, where the streets are more likely to show 
up.  As compensation, the applet rarely shows any yellow marks.

Are the yellow marks (dots, now crosses) served through the tile 
server?  If so, it is at the center of the current problems. Does 
the tile server save a log file, from where we can learn how often 
it fails to render the streets or yellow markers?  I guess the 
failure rate is higher than 50% in the last week, and this is 
disasterous.

For example, go to
http://www.openstreetmap.org/index.html?lat=58.14&lon=15.68&zoom=14 
and see very few streets drawn, no matter how you reload.  Click 
on "edit" and you see more streets.  But in the very center (to 
the northwest of the roundabout) there is an area of yellow marks 
that should be drawn as streets (a parking lot).  Change to 
zoom=15 or zoom=16 and see how the yellow markers are no longer 
rendered!  And how do you reload tiles in the edit applet?
