I'm getting inexplicable (to me, at least) issues uploading skins. I can write an HTML file and upload it as a skin without problems. I can install a pre-packaged skin file without problems. I just can't upload any zipped skin files from my own computer...
Case in point: I had bought a skin called Ice Age and installed it. I liked the style but not all of the colors. On my own machine, I unzipped the folder, changed the color hexes in the .css file (nothing else!), rezipped the files and uploaded them again under the name "tinkeredskin."
The install process looked like this:
Begin processing zip file: tinkeredskin

# Writing file: gradient_bg.gif
# Writing file: gradient_LtGrey.gif

# Writing file: skin.css
End processing zip file: tinkeredskin.zip

So far, so good? Returning to the skins admin page, I tried to set all public pages to tinkeredskin and got an error message in the preview box: "No Skin Files Exist in Folder."
So where did I go wrong?
