I might be wrong, but I think characters such as ? and ( and ) may cause problems with the xml parser (similar to how you have to use < and > for < and > respectivly)

I agree with Spunky. I think the characters ( ) can cause problems.

extract the resources from 9.0 it tells you how to on this forum and also in the documentation (I think) and please try and read other threads before creating new ones and use [Help] and the subject next to it as people will reply alot quicker if they have had the problem before or can help with the problem
just "i need help" titles people don't always look at I have just logged onto the forum for the first time today and in this skins section there are like 20 unread threads and I am not planning on looking at them all based on the titles alone

No they don't. The only characters which may cause errors are:

< > " ' &

do you have a clouds.jpg picture in your skin folder?
if not then the picture won't show up
RE: need help again :P by Basilis on 01-04-2008 at 10:11 PM
Mattike, these characters < > " are usde in the codes and are definetely not causing problems. It may be what djdannyp says.
RE: need help again :P by freak544 on 01-05-2008 at 12:05 PM
there is no id 20061 in the resources i have for 9.0
20852 i think is the id you need i am not sure though
RE: need help again :P by Matti on 01-05-2008 at 12:32 PM
quote:Yes, I know that. Read again: The only characters which may cause errors are... With that I meant that these characters are the only ones who could cause errors in certain cases. Ah well,... who cares anyway?

Correct
This, along with not having a clouds.jpg picture in your skin folder may be the problem which is causing your skin not to work
RE: need help again :P by TRash19 on 01-05-2008 at 01:58 PM
59022 is the Id for Log In window background, and 20852 is the Id for the contact list frame picture (around the advertisement and under the tabs) 
RE: need help again :P by Basilis on 01-05-2008 at 03:27 PM
Oh sorry Mattike. I just misunderstood your point!
