Jeff,

The secret is that skins, like modules, are uploaded as a zip file with a particular set of folders and files inside it. When you're browsing your drive, simply select the zip that contains the skin. Note that sometimes a commercial skin package will have the zip of the skin inside it and will need to be extracted first. The zip you want to upload is the one that has a 'skins' and a 'containers' folder inside it.

Thanks for your reply. I think I've now actually figured it out. Unfortunately, I'm fighting a new demon now, the dreaded upgrade to 4.8.2 from 4.8.0. Let's just say it's not goin so well. Can't log in anymore. Thanks again with the info on the skins.

Thanks for the reply. Actually, I did copy the connection strings and the machineKey validationKey and the decryption key. I can tell it knows the password because it won't let me even complete the login step unless I type it in correctly. But when I do it just takes me back to the Home page like I never even signed in. Any clues? Thanks.
