Make sure your skin settings have those check boxes checked in the profile tab.

An update never changes any config items UNLESS (it will add new ones if they are new) so you should not have seen that - I haven't before.

well when u do an update is it best to clone the new version then copy over your customizations, or clone your custom version then copy over the update changes
maybe its just how i do the update sync with mycustomizatiobns

There is no need to re-clone a cloned skin, just move the updates/changes from the new version to your cloned skin if you feel you need those updates/changes.

Just adding that when I did the skin update it did not unchecked or change those boxes from how I had them checked.

thats probably why ill do that from now on but then it requires checking every single template not justthe ones ive changed
thats why i do it the way i do it so i can only check the ones i modified


maybe u can add a indicator that lets u know what templates have new code in the new versions

SE, Clay has been asking for this and I agree- we do need to know what templates of .css files gets changed in the updates. Otherwise, checking through every tweak we've ever done of every template (especially in our customized skins) is a monumental task. That's why I currently have a small dread of every Ningja skin update. ;)

well the way i do it i only check about 10 temolates but then things get messy lil whati do is clone a new skin from the updated add the custom images check each template i changed theres 3 css files i edited only i rename themto css.bak and copy mine then i downoad the templates upload to the new skin but choose skip instead over overwrite so it only uploads my custom ones
it takes all of 15 min at most but now i know its not the smart way

so yea i agree a list of changed files at least in the change log, or a wayto flag them aschanged
