Hi
I saw that error on my test site recently and then noticed that there was a story \
that had no primaryskid.  I modified the record manually and then that error went \
away.  I'm not entirely sure how I got that way, but I think it happened when I was \
trying to figure out the new Topic & Sections assignment UI in the "New Story" \
screen.  (Now I create stories using the "submit story" link because the UI is \
simpler.  I *think* I now know how to use the new T&S UI, but the older way is still \
quicker.)

	Mark

None of those things matched my site.  I changed them. Don't really see 
any changes........my apache log is flooded with:

/index.pl:Slash::Utility::Display:/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/Slash/Utility/Display.pm:470:cannot \
getSkin for empty skid

Um, I'm running FreeBSD 4.10. This problem is only happening with UID 2, 
and that is the major user on the site. Creating a new user seems to fix 
the problem. However, if I Delete the user, and then "swap" it (IE: 
giving it the uid 2) with a new user, the problem still seems to happen. 
What exactly does one have to change other than UID in all the USER* tables?

Thanks!
