Let me explain better:
Go inside your skin's folder, like C:\Program Files\Messenger Plus! Live\Skins\abstract skin, and then put everything into a single .zip file, and rename it to .plsk.

You have to ZIP the contents of the folder, and then rename it from .zip to .plsk.
But wait...

lol who cares. That's for the mods to decide. Besides its a compliment based on something that happened by the topics creator. So yeah. Don't be so tightly wound up when it comes to posts
In this case the person meant well.quote:

I lol'd there. Listen there isn't really anything to worry about when it comes to sending a senior member/skinner your skin file. All the senior skinners don't steal ideas because pretty much all of them have had their skins ripped at point or another.
Besides, the database operator is open to complaints about stealing and whatnot. Those skins generally get removed pretty quickly (upon investigating of course).
At any rate, you didn't really say what you had tried already and since your post count is low I don't blame blessedguy for going to the worst case scenario
Don't take it the wrong way or anything, we just have to make sure.A lot of the issues people have with skinning are generally the really really obvious ones. i.e. not zipping correctly, tag not closed properly.
Anyway you fixed the issue so yeah. Just remember that you shouldn't really worry about ripping when it comes to a senior member.
