[Mediawiki-l] making the default skin 'stick'

[Brianna Laugher]

Hello,

I changed this in LocalSettings.php:

$wgDefaultSkin = 'cologneblue';

and it's fine when I browse anonymously, but when I log in it
immediately reverts to Monobook. In the user settings, it has "cologne
blue (default)", but it still appears to have selected Monobook as the
default.

>From this thread (
http://mail.wikipedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-December/009143.html
) it seems like it's actually not possible, but it seems a bit odd -
why do user prefs pick up Monobook as the default?

Thanks,
Brianna
