This is pure guess work but I suspect you're using iD, and at the moment many people are mapping in Ecuador and Japan using iD so volumes of edits are high.
Using JOSM I've noticed that it taking two or three attempts to save edits to the edat base at times at the moment. JOSM simply retries until it gets through. The edits are dispersed and stored on individual machines. When you get a "Sucess" then the OSM database has acknowledged receipt. I think with iD though you make changes in a web interface and those are stored on a central server(s). When you "save" then the server attempts to add them to the OSM database and says thank you even though it has not at that time had a message back from the OSM database saying the messages have been sucessfully added. Given enough people trying to save at the same time and the OSM database not accepting edits occasionally I suspect that the iD server isn't hanging onto the edits and retrying long enough given the number of requests it has to handle. Basically I suspect a timing issue so it could be the bandwidth between the server and the OSM database, running out of CPU cycles, or memory on the server, not enough disk space for the caches etc. Cheerio John On 25 April 2016 at 06:18, Harry Wood <m...@harrywood.co.uk> wrote: > Hi Susan. > > We can see some of your OpenStreetMap edits (changesets) being saved here: > http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/SReed/historyThat all happens > independently of the Tasking Manager, so it's these OpenStreetMap edit > displays we should look at to investigate.
