Nothing is corrupted. Don’t panic!
1. Design looks unattractively for guests because of top banner.
Control Panel - Settings – Ad Banner Settings – Type of Banner Output (over design).
2. Design looks unattractively for administrators because of Admin Bar.
Control Panel - Users – User Groups – Edit permissions – Disable the feature "Access to Admin Bar" for admins. Your design will look as you wish but will not be able to use a number of useful functions for site management.
If you still need these functions, you should either restore design in "Common Settings" section, but then you’ll loose all you changes (we advise you to make a backup copy of templates before design restoration), or edit something in templates, that is....
... the problem is that top heading image is written in the tag (example), you need to remove it from there... you should do the following....
cut from style="background:url('/img/1.gif') repeat-x #FFFFFF; margin:0px; padding:0px;" the part style="background:url('/img/1.gif') repeat-x #FFFFFF;" and paste it into
and close this div just before the closing tag
You’ll get something like the following
there was:

the rest of the page

there should be:

Code

If News disappear from the main page after you have changed the template:
For pages with common design.
1. Go to Common Settings, select design, press Save.
2. Open Main page and see News.
For pages with individual but standard design.
1. Go to Templates management, open Main Page template and press RESTORE DEFAULT TEMPLATE.
2. Check whether there is the code $CONTENT$ in page code.
3. Go to Update information of the Main page and check the presence of codes.

Code

%IF($ADD_ENTRY_LINK$)%<div style="text-align:right;padding-bottom:3px;">[ <a href="$ADD_ENTRY_LINK$">Add news entry</a> ]</div>%ENDIF%$LAST_NEWS$

For pages with non-standard individual design.
1. Go to Templates management, open Main Page template and create your design.
2. Check whether there is the code $CONTENT$ in page code.
3. Go to Update information of the Main page and check the presence of codes.

Code

%IF($ADD_ENTRY_LINK$)%<div style="text-align:right;padding-bottom:3px;">[ <a href="$ADD_ENTRY_LINK$">Add news entry</a> ]</div>%ENDIF%$LAST_NEWS$
