[talk-au] Potlatch problems

2009-06-01 Thread Mark Pulley 
Is anyone else here having problems with Potlatch? Over the last  
couple of weeks, I have had repeated problems with Potlatch not being  
able to connect with the server. It's most annoying after drawing a  
long way on a rural road from a GPS trace only to find the error  
message Sorry - the connection to the OpenStreetMap server failed.  
This appears to be a permanent error, as even leaving it a few minutes  
and trying save again doesn't make any difference, so I have to open a  
new edit window and trace the way again. (One road required three  
attempts to finally get it in the database.)

I have noticed that issue intermitently, although I'm mostly using JOSM at 
present so I don't really use potlatch much, but instead of making a long way 
in one go, deselect it a few times to make it save intermitently, at least that 
way you won't have to re-do the whole thing, but smaller sections when it 
screws up.
