Hello,

 

I recently installed Invision Power Board on my site about a month ago. About a week after, I successfully installed a skin that I got from invisionskins.com. Today I wanted to install a second skin. However, in order to install a second skin, I needed to make sure that my permissions for the "archive_in" directory were at 0777 (just like I did when installing the 1st skin). I changed the settings from my FTP program then later went on to the administration panel of the board. I clicked on "Import Skin Files" but the list was empty. I sat there for an hour and ended up giving permissions to practically everything, including sub directories and files. However, I noticed that when I logged out of my FTP program and logged on again, the "archive_in" directory lost all of it's chmod properties that I set. So then I changed the permissions from cPanel, but guess what? After I gave the "archive_in" directory full permissions, I logged out and back on to cPanel and the "archive_in" directory lost it's permissions that I gave it (it went back to it's original permission settings).

 

I find this very strange because I was able to install a skin last time perfectly fine and now I can't because cPanel seems to reset my permission settings that I give out.
