The front page of your site looks odd to me (using Firefox on Ubuntu) because of a > in some javascript, this line here:

  if (sctr>number_of_sponsors-1){

I'm not sure if that's related though. Just loading anything seems to be taking a very long time. I'm assuming that you've switched to a standard theme and that solves the problem?

Was there not a similar problem previously where one of the cache settings was set very low? I think that was a differnt theme but it might be the same cause.

A link to your site (assuming it is publicly available) is always helpful in tracking down problems.

Try hitting the styles.php in your browser directly. If it times out or otherwise fails then that gives you a place to start looking.

I believe it's an accessibility good practice to have such binary options presented as a checkbox, where the true/false, enabled/disabled, yes/no-ness is suggested by the associated title.

It's certainly in the right place now, but I think the post may have been moved by an admin.

Talking of bugs, is it a bug that the apostrophe in your surname is escaped with a backslash? I remember seeing a few odd bugs triggered by surnames like O'Reilly but I thought they were all fixed by now.

edit: almost certainly a bug as it displays without the backslash at the top of your user page, yet with the backslash in the page title, breadcrumb trail, and elsewhere.

I'm surprised that such a bug could go undetected for so long, maybe some recent code changes have caused a regression.
