Ok, here is what I do to change the template and look of the site:

- go to template builder
- skeletons of standard design
- select #xxx
- click create templates
- click ok on confirm action

now my website looks fine with the new template BUT, if I go to Customize design -> CSS and click save (without changing anything in the CSS) my website changes to some crap look.
As I wanted to change the CSS it struk me after quite some time that it wasn't my changes to do any arrors. That's why I tried with new template and CSS whithout changes.

Any help appreciated.

I'm sorry zephyrthru, what's the point of this? (I have read the readme.txt btw)
All I want now is to load a standard template from the ucoz provided list and let it run. Later in ucoz I want to change a color in the CSS and let it run again.

I have found another guy with the same problem:
http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/26-8093-1

He says it was a server problem. Does the server has a problem now? How would I know that?

my point is, maybe ur CSS code is not relevant with the templates that u choose. the url u've visited is a download link for the templates. i think that will help u.

usually, after you change the templates through the common settings, CSS will automatically changes with the templates CSS.
btw i little confuse with ur questions, maybe u'll need administrators help. but could i visiting ur page? maybe i've a clue about ur problem.

and if u don't have any ideas, try to restore default templates
Control Panel > Customize Design > CSS > Restore default templates

I went to check the CSS and it's stuck to a CSS from another template. If I change the settings, common settings etc, this CSS still stays the same

ok, I think I've got it...
You can't change the CSS if you load a new template as I said in the new post.
you need to load it as Common Settings > Select Design > Save, then go to CSS and Restore default templates
This might bring up the CSS of the template you loaded, otherwise each time you do something will revert to old CSS

Ok, here is what I think.
When you want to change your design layout (from template say #102) by loading one of the "skeletons of standard design" the new template (say #101 for example). If you refresh your website it looks good as if you just applied the #101 template.
All great right? Yes until you want to change something in this layout. The moment you touch the code the new layout becomes the #101 with CSS of #102.
This means that the template builder does't really import the CSS of the layout you have chosen, it just display it for once and then switches back to the old one.
To get the correct CSS to load with the template the ONLY way is to set the #101 as your default layout in "Common Settings > Select Design > Save" then go to "CSS -> Restore default templates".
Now you can start changing something in the #101 layout.
