The current style sheet has a setting that removes bold from links when one hovers over it. This causes an annoying effect on links that are bold (e.g. in headings). The rapid flickering can be a serious health hazard (I'm serious - see http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG10-CORE-TECHS/#flicker)

The current CSS looks like this:

a:hover {
font-weight: normal;
color: #ffcc00;
background-color: #3333ff;
}


Can be fixed easily by removing the following line:
font-weight:normal;

I noticed the same when my mouse hovered over a link by just 1 pixel. It causes a continuous flicker which at first made me think that my OS had crashed.

Which browser and can you give an example of a url that does this? I don't notice it on safari and firefox.

Found one that jumps around here (the header of the table). Your fix seems to help. Thanks mister Webmaster!

I am using Firefox 1.5.0.8 on Windows. It does not happen in Opera and IE6 for me either.

Go to a page like "Top teams" and move your mouse over one of the bold links. It doesn't happen much when you are in the middle of the link but if you're on the edge (right hand side in particular) of it.

Since the bold is removed, the text gets smaller. In some cases this means the cursor is no longer on the text, so it keeps changing between bold and normal text.

EDIT: You beat me to it. You're welcome and thanks for fixing it. Also thanks for making me User of the Day!
