    Default DefaultSkinID - not working?

    Greetings All,


    I recently switched our DefaultSkinID from 44 to 22.
    However - I'm seeing some strange behaviour.

    A new visit to the site (i.e. one with no history / cookie set) results in a cookie being set for SkinID=44

    Any idea what else might be causing this or where the problem might lie?

    http://www.3mselect.co.uk - what skin do you see?

    I'm seeing 44 as well. Is this in a multi-server or cloud environment? If you're using multiple databases/machines they may just not be synched up.

    Hmmm.... Worrying.
    Nope - not cloud or multi server.


    Any other ideas what might be causing it?

    I'm also seeing skin 22 (I'll assume skin 22 because of the link to skins/Skin_22/all.css...unless you've hardcoded skin 22 references in skin 44). This seems to me like a cookie issue. Skins are cookied the first time to the site and are valid for 365 days unless they are forced otherwise. The only way they would be forced is if a skin id was specified directly in the querystring (eg. http://www.3mselect.co.uk?skinid=22) or the cookie has been removed from the machine by clearing them through the browser.

    What you may want to do is remove the lines in App_Code/SkinBase.cs that read and set the skin cookie...or add a couple lines of log where we read the cookie and if the cookie is not skin 22 then force it to skin 22 and set the cookie. All of this logic is in the LoadSkinTemplate method.
