today my whole site started to revert to plain HTML, even though I haven't made any major changes. After the problem started tried switching the cache off in admin/settings/performance, also tried switching off CSS agregation since I was stuck for ideas and this solved the problem.

Anyone had anything similar happen to them or know what might be going on?

Try going into the code and testing if all the links to the various CSS files work. It could just be that you forgot a backslash or something.

Also, it could just be a server config thing. Sometimes all the Drupal features don't work out-of-the-box with certain hosts. Usually it's something to do with the permissions on the /files directory.

But that is totally weird, as I didn't change anything. If anyone has seen anything like this I'd like to know, since I'm pretty in the dark here.

If it happens again, try completely reloading the page using Ctrl+F5. This loads all the files for the page again. Or just clear your browser cache.

I found out that my web server had actually run out of disk space due to another process and couldn't write agregrated CSS files!

And yes, I'm moving to a bigger box now

I had same problem with my pages - on Win server. I resolved it by adding ".htaccess" file in directory drupal/files/css.

.htaccess:

#SetHandler Drupal_Securi­ty_Do_Not_Remo­ve_See_SA_2006_006

#Options None

#Options +FollowSymLinks

I had the same problem immediately after installing Drupal on Windows Server. Turning CSS agregation off solved the problem.
