What version are you using? I have 2.0, so I'll tell you how to do it on a 2.0, I think it's the same on the other version anyway.

If the skin is saved as an XML file, then do this:

1. Download the XML file, and make sure it's stored somewhere you can find it again.
2. Go to your forum and log in and go to the Admin CP, and log in and enter the CP.
3. Scroll down to Skins & Templates in the Admin CP menu.
4. If it's not expanded, click on the title to expand it. Then, you will see "Skin Import/Export". Click it.
5. Scroll down to the "Importing..." section. In the Upload XML Template set field, browse your computer, and open the XML file you downloaded on step 1.
6. Click the IMPORT SKIN XML button.
