[Feature Request] Assign Skin rights

[Staneck]

It would be really nice if a Administrator could decide which user groups are able to see Skins that got marked with the "hide from members" attribute.

This can be usefull while betatesting a new skin or offering team members a skin with less advertisement or special colors.

...I'm sure most (if not all) common users will say that: "this is a modification" and all that crap. So I wouldn't hold your breath on ;)

I personally think this would be good, despite it already being a modification.

[Staneck]

it would be cool as real feature that does not need to be updated with every boardupdate.

There is a modification for this?

[Staneck]

It would be no problem for IPS to implement this. PLEASE IPS, PLEASE! :(

[Staneck]

any news?

[TCWT]

This should be a fundamental feature.

[bfarber]

Please don't expect "news" on feature suggestions. I have a hard enough time ensuring I read each and everyone, I certainly can't reply to them all. ;)

This does seem to be such a basic feature that it ought to be included with all the other features assignable by group. How hard can it be? Some groups see the selector, some don't.

For instance, I just upgraded to 2.3.4. from 2.1.7. I was really perplexed that this option wasn't available. I have to do a whole new skin, but in the meantime, I'm stuck with the Pro skin. I'd like to get some help and feedback from my support team on the new skin, but the only way I can make it visible for them and not the general membership is to make them all admins, and I don't want to do that.

I have a hosted account, so a mod is out of the question. I have a hard enough time keeping "ownership" of my files and directories.

I like this idea too,b ut mostly because we already use a hack just like this for development purposes. :P
