Oh, and I see this site has Stylesheet overload:  11 (yes, eleven) referenced style sheets according to my browser, plus a large in-line stylesheet in addition (!) at the top of this page, and css style commands embedded in the code for this page(!?!).

Overlooking the fact that there can't be enough entities to be described to need 11 separate sheets as well as the 2 lots of inline stuff without at least some duplication (it looks to me as if everything is defined in the 2 inline ones), every incline/embedded css style command is pure wasted bandwidth loaded, and reloaded, on every page display, defeating the browser's caching attempts made possible by referenced stylesheets.

Getting the inline style stuff out of the pages will speed up everything including the webserver and the PHP engine.  And if this basic an oversight still exists after, what, 4 months?  What else probably still lurks?
