I'll take your word for it - I'm not registered, so I can't test it.
If it's like that, it sounds like a serious problem though, and it

alt.design.graphics and microsoft.public.design.gallery seem

None of them are complicated designs, but it is visible that someone
took some time to make it look nice.

An example of your own page with a bit of formatting:
