[Mediawiki-l] MW1.16.0 usability extension default skin not working

The local settings file only defines the default skin variable once and it is set to cancervoicesnew. Also, after I log in my preferences shows the skin to be cancervoicesnew. Still doesn't answer the question of when I initially connect, the skin displayed is Vector and not that defined in the local settings file.
Sounds as if I am the only one having this issue.
