The 'clearing the templates cache' option is meant to do what you manually did (empty the /var/templates_c directory that is)
Ensure the folder permissions for templates_c is set to '777' (Thats if you're hosting on a linux server)

The 'templates_c' directory is a repository for "compiled" templates.
Templates are written using Smarty syntax, which resembles normal HTML to a great extent - however, for those templates to be usable by the system, they must be compiled to PHP code.
When a template is invoked for the first time, it is compiled to PHP code and placed in the templates_c directory for faster access on next invocation.
