Arrow 41 Skins Listed vs 8 Skins Available - Why?

I've been w/ Forumer awhile now, and I have a problem, not sure what the deal is?

The list of IPB skins is listed here:
http://www.forumer.com/screenshots.html

^^ Total of 41 skins

However, I just helped someone set up a new IPB forum, and here is the list of skins available in the CP:

Invision Power Board
Cloud 9
Shadowillusions
smoothgrey
set purplehearts.tar
smoothtangerine
valentines
bluesquare

^^ Total of 8 skins

I'm not asking how/where to locate more skins via Google, etc (css styles).

I'm asking this:

Why does the CP only have 8 skins, instead of the regular 41? Where are the remaining 33 skins and why aren't they in the CP since they are listed at the link above?

Thanks

Honestly, I dunno. But I think it may be the server you are hosted on.

Server: 30

As stated in the first post, Forumer says it provides these IPB skins:

http://www.forumer.com/screenshots.html

It doesn't say anything about particular servers having less than what is listed at that link.

I still need to know why the CP only has 8 skins, instead of the regular 41 that are listed at the link above.

Thanks

Question Re: 41 Skins Listed vs 8 Skins Available - Why?

How do you find out which server you're on? My forum is tomandjerry.30.forumer.com. Waidaminute! The number, .30., is that the server I'm on?

Could you please post a screenshot of the Select a Skin page on server 30 using a host such as http://filehive.com?

Yes, I am having similar problems... I have many more than eight skins to choose from, but the skins I liked of the screenshots are not available on my server (21). I was wandering if there is anyway to change the server, or add the skins "Papyrus" and "SandStorm" to server (21)? Thanks a lot, and any help would be greatly appreciated!
