    I have a DNN 4.7 site which I have not updated. I installed a DNN 6.01 site as a test, and tried to upload a skin (DNN Green fixed width) from the old site to the new. It failed, and I have not yet had time to explore further.

    Does this mean that skins that worked in DNN 4 will not work in DNN 6?

    How about DNN 5 skins?

    thanks!

    Can you define "failed"? That might help me understand the problem.

    I was able to find a copy of the DNN Green skin and upload it to a DotNetNuke 6.0.1 test site.

    And it worked for you? If so, I must try it again, and note the message!

    Sorry, Joe, this was my error. I had zipped up the DNN_Green folder, instead of zipping up the CONTENTS of the DNN_Green folder, so the skin was nested too deep. Did it again, and it worked fine!

    Great!

    (That's a mistake that I've made over and over again ... )
