I think it would be beneficial to have a forum to discuss the features, bugs or give feedback on DNN 5.0. While this is late now for the initial release, it's not late for later releases. I get the impression that DNN developers are working behind closed doors. Why aren't they getting the users involved before a feature is implemented?

For example, the removal of the ability for portal admins to upload skins. Is there a real security risk? Is this a result of a security weakness in DNN itself that a portal can affect other portals? Why can't this feature be enabled per portal? As a host, I trust my portal admins and want them to use their own skins without my intervention.

I just used the file manager in 5.0 and its container does not expand with the module and the text of the module is overlaid on top of the container's text. I went to the bug tracker here to search for this bug and Gemini gave me a "Gemini Application Error"!

Then make it an option instead of removing it. If I trust my admins I enable the option. If you don't trust yours, leave it disabled. I don't understand why the option was removed. When the option is available and it's secured by default, you make more people happy.

If an admin can elevate their privilage to a host then there's a real problem with DNN itself! Plug that hole instead of putting a bandaid.

Did some 4.9 hosts complain that portals admins where playing havoc with their servers that the decision was to remove it in 5.0?

I can't install certain skins from host because they use xml files which are specific to a portal. For example skins which use Flash files which contain a portal logo.

Does 5.0 support installing a skin from host for a specific portal?

Does the file manager give access to the skin folder?
