Press "request update of" button, and it will get new map data from OSM 
(that's what it's doing when it says "downloading data..." at the top of a 
page)

For that new data to be rendered, just wait until someone's OSM at home client 
wakes up and does it (they check every hour, if people have left the client 
running in a continuous loop) or run the client yourself to be sure of a 
quick update.

If you need a better timestamp, try looking in the Data/ or Maps/ directory 
for the OSM data and rendered images respectively.


p.s. a special copy of osmarender is used 
(http://almien.co.uk/OSM/Places/Download/) so that we can create a rules file 
specially designed for the size/type of map being created on that site (e.g. 
should have bigger text and wider roads).  It doens't actually have any such 
changes yet of course, so send your suggestions in the form of modified 
osmarender files.
