When I try to install or update a skin I receive the following error.
Error Installing Skin
Details: Invalid Characters in the skin name. It must only contain alphanumeric characters
Any Ideas?

What skin name were you using. An alphanumeric character is
a-z A-Z 0-9
and the first character can't be a number.

loopX.tar and da_hermes.003.tar
I installed the loopX skin a few weeks ago and it worked fine.
I removed it since it hasn't been updated for a while.
I tried installing the da_hermes.003.tar and I received the error.
I changed the name to hermes.tar and that didn't help.
I then tried to re-install the loopX skin again and received the same error.

Hello,
1) select the file (must be file.tar.gz)
2) the *name* of the skin can be whatever you want.. doesn't have to be (and shouldn't be) the name of the file.. ie tar.gz..
Just use a name like "LoopX" or "Hermes" .. it's whatever you want to call it. But the name must only contain alphanumeric characters.

That worked perfectly. Sorry about that. I don't remember having to do that originally.
