Pray forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong area.

I'm still a little new to DNN, but the gist of it is I am trying to get the DNN menu, the one that comes with it for editing purposes of your site, to function properly. It works fine with the provided skins and such that come with it, but once I implemented my own skin it no longer seems to be working. The Modules, Pages, and Users drop downs no longer drop down or are click-able, the user menu bar is wonky, and the Edit Page button no longer works, either. All the other menu links, thankfully, still work, so I can go in and edit pages via this method, but it's a hassle.

I can't imagine it's the CSS or anything... I copied it directly from a working DNN skin. But I'm totally stumped. I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide.

As a quick thought, maybe the DNN js library isn't loading in your skin. You could try adding it using the Client Resource Manager. Here's what the code looks like, though DNN will almost certainly strip it:

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" Namespace="DotNetNuke.Web.Client.ClientResourceManagement" Assembly="DotNetNuke.Web.Client" %>

From what I can see your skin does not have the styling for the user profile included or there is a removal of the default.css

 In your new skin is the stylehelper skin object used to remove default.css ?

the control bar issue has to do with the fact that a lot of skins nowadays ( especially bootstrap ones ) are using the boz-sizing property and the defautl dnn styling does not behave very well in that setup

you can fix that  by adding the below to your css thsi takes care of overriding all the items to look good
