Another case of worldwide vandalism today. It has already been reverted. Please remember that OSM tiles are cached. After such worldwide changes, the tile servers are overloaded and refreshing the tiles may take several hours. Lots of people will see an outdated image of OSM data for a few more hours. There is a new feature on osm.org: now you can see the date of the last edit by a user directly from the profile page. If you are not comfortable with editors or don’t want to corrupt existing data, you can contribute to OpenStreetMap with notes. I know a mapper who created an account 3 years ago and didn’t do a single edit. But he will regularly survey places and create notes, which I use to update the map. I endeavour to put a link to the newly-created object in the note and sometimes ask for more details. Now, we understand each other well and he knows what information is useful. A great partnership!
[DATA EXPUNGED]
As from today, new nodes in OpenStreetMap have 11 digits. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/10000000000 was created on Sunday afternoon. |

@bxl_forever it's funny cause it's true
(And no amount of pinned forum posts will ever fix this because "my problem is special" 😄)
@bxl_forever Yeah, I noticed it myself while I was explaining OSM to a member of the public.
@bxl_forever It's not 50 hours - it's nearer 150! Looking at the last incident, we were still getting people creating tickets around 6 days after the problems had been fixed in the data (but not in that user's browser cache, of course).
