By "their web template" I am assuming you mean their CSS... if it just looks like plain text. Make sure nothing is blocking their stylesheet from loading... a very stupid firewall might be blocking it?

yeah whatever, It's just plain text, it's kinda unlikely that something's blocking it. Both my computers have the same firewall and it used to open the site just find but now it doesn't

It must be your firewall. DA is looking the same to me and nothing seems wrong about it.

alright, so if it is my firewall somehow, how do I ublock it or add it to exceptions

Firewalls can't block CSS. CSS is transferred on the same port as the rest of your HTTP request.
DA is perfectly fine, have been for the past few months I started using it daily.
If that happens to you in all sites it's probably your browser somehow set to disable CSS (possible in some browsers)
If it's just DA or just a few sites then they might be using a CSS standard that your browser doesn't recognize. However, both IE8 and FF3.5 work with everything up to CSS3.

k I just updated to ff 3.5 and it still doesn't work
Sonic Maybe you should just try reinstalling your browser to see if that works.
Otherwise it might actually be your computer, my old one never played animations on most sites, and in some rare cases did what you're describing is happening.
You could try deleting your cookies and reloading the site, though I doubt it'll do anything.
