Another thing to bear in mind is that the only way I can login is to create an error in the skin so it loads the default DNN skin.  Then I can login and change it back to the non-working s.  And when I do none of my contentpane outlines are visable, but in the control panel "Pane" dropdown it just says "contentpane".  However when I go to add a module the Add Link is disabled.

This suggests that there is something wrong with my content panes
