[Tilesathome] Cutover to new server? When?

[Ian Dees]

One bug in the static browser:

You need to put the </tr> and <tr> tags right next to each other (no
whitespace) so that the 5px blank space between the rows in the static map
browser goes away. At least I think this was the solution...

Also, how long does it take for the tiles to show up? There were a few
tilesets finished for the area around here (probably 20-30 minutes ago):

They're currently showing up as "unknown type" for me.
