I'm sure skin authors would LOVE this as it could actually make trouble shooting easier for them.

Have version fields available. When viewing the list of skins, have the human version displayed next to it. For the default skin, obviously it would (should) always be up to date, but as an example, it would appear as "IP.Board (4.0.1)."

For skin authors, someone reporting an issue could be asked what version they are using and after giving it, that author will know if their client is using the latest version or if they need to upgrade the skin.

For the end user, if they have several skins in use, they won't have to scratch their head like a monkey doing a math problem trying to remember if they upgraded a skin or not.

Good idea. Upgrade checking as well whilst we're on this topic ;)
