Thread:Extension talk:CharInsert/Not displaying as buttons../reply (3)

We are running 1.17.1 and they only don't appear as buttons for me with our custom skins.. I'm wondering if there is a different or special switch somewhere to turn userCss on with custom skins, or if the skin is severely broken and somehow causes it to not even look for MediaWiki:Common.css let alone username/common.css.
