I have a "default" skin style, Content Pane, Left, Top, etc.  When I switch skins to a different skin, one with more panes, the new skin shows up with only a content and banner pane.  None of the other panes are available to add modules to.  The skin is a "professional" skin and the .css file includes all of the needed panes.  Even after I apply the skin and try to add a new page, thinking the new empty page would pick up the new skin .css, it also only has 2 panes.  The logo placement, Login/Register, date time, breadcrumb, etc. are all located where the new skin places them, the only things missing are all of the other panes!  I have tried to contact the skin maker but my email keeps returning as undeliverable.  (Not a fly by night! - just think I am having a problem with his email)

I think I phrased it incorrectly - I'm not using 2 different skins at the same time on the site.  The site has a "default" skin with the only change from true default being a red color scheme instead of the blue skin.  I purchased a new skin package and installed it.  When I apply the new skin instead of the default skin, it doesn't work. I do get part of the new skin...the menu works, the colors are correct, and the new skin has a "banner" pane, which is there.  The the other 10 panes (except for content) are not in the drop down box for me to select from when installing a new module.  In other words, after applying the skin, I only have Content and Banner as the choices for adding a new module into.  I shouldn't have to edit the skin files to make them work.  As stated in the initial question, I added a new page just to see if that would have any effect on the page layout but it also had on 2 panes available.

I haven't looked at the ascx file yet - the .css file does show the 12 panes.  I have only 3 skins on the site - the 2 default skins and the new one I added.  All three skins show up when I select a skin, and the new skin does partially work, i.e. the menu changes to the new look, the breadcrumb & date/time move to their new location, etc.  The ONLY thing not working is the 12 panes, I only get the content pane, and the banner pane, which is a part of the new skin. I am really baffled on this one! I have purchased a skin from this person in the past and it worked beautifully!  In fact, I had the space for another website so I created a completely new DotNetNuke install on it and applied the new skin to it and it also didn't show up correctly either.  I am going to look at the html (ascx) file and see what it shows; it may just need a tweak in it. I'll post back if I find something missing in the file and can fix it. Thanks
