So now I am completely stumped. I have tried clearing all users' 'skin' preferences (so they will use $wgDefaultSkin) by doing all of the following: - Delete all rows from the user_properties table where up_property = 'skin' - truncate table objectcache - restart Apache (for eAccelerator) and use eAccelerator's own cache-purging command - Deleted all cache files in $wgCacheDirectory - User logged out of MediaWiki and logged back in - User deleted all cookies and browser-cached content - User restarted web browser For some users, their skin *still* is not $wgDefaultSkin. It remains monobook, the previous value of $wgDefaultSkin. We don't use the other caches you mention. If they hit Special:Preferences and simply click Save, the problem goes away (for them) and their skin is now $wgDefaultSkin. Any other ideas where this skin preference is being cached?
