I just upgraded to DNN 6.2.0 but for some reason my skin was changed during the upload. I have been using the default DarkKnight skin provided with the Community edition but I made some changes to the skin.css file and the Home-Mega-Menu.html file to modify the skin a bit. For some reason when I upgrade the website, I was put back to the normal default Home-Mega-Menu skin. Is this normal or did something go wrong during the upgrade?

This is normal as the upgrade had a newer version of the skin, so your edits were lost as the skin was upgraded.

Typically it is recommended that you make edits in a new skin (copy of the old one is fine, just rename the copy)

Thanks Chris. I made the changes to the skin from my backup. To anyone who is interested, I found Chris' video here most helpful when performing the upgrade:
