Cannot import Skin

The World Editor says it was unable to load, i've backed out and tried to restart World Edit but it does the same thing again. All i'm getting is a Green cube.

What you're looking for is an icon, not a skin.

There are no skins or icons in those instructions, just two models and other crap. Something is obviously missing.....

I don't understand what you are trying to imply, Silvenon.
This is a "I was too lazy to search the WEHZ for green cube" issue.
But since I'm nice I'll tell you the solution:

Don't be afraid when WE says it's unable to load an imported resource.
Just test the damn map and it will be there. (If you did everything right)
Now go and press the test map button and let those tears of joy surface. Enjoy.

when you done import in import manager you must save and restart world editor.Then go to the object editor and do all.

You don't have to restart WE. It would suck. Sometimes your imported stuff don't show up immediately in WE. Live with it. Restarting after every import would be stupid, just enjoy those ocassional green cubes.

Green square means icon not found, that means you did something wrong with the icon importing. That link doesn't help at all because you were the one that was supposed to make an icon. I would suggest giving us few screenshots of the icon in the object editor and the icon in the import manager.

My theory is that you didn't import the icon at all, that's what mostly happens.

All in all, a green square means that in the object editor you input a path to an icon that doesn't exist, that's basically that.

Oh, I see now, Silvenon. No, he said green cube, not square.
You misread it.

Silvenon you didn't read the first post correctly, he said green CUBE not green square, emperor and flesh are right with what they said
Edit: lol was too slow :/
@ emperor: you like wikipedia? ^^

Please stay on-topic else I'll delete a few more posts.

Well, I'll say again then:
Forget what Silvenon said, he's right, a green square appears instead of your icon if you didn't import the icons correctly but we are talking about a green checkered cube now.
But here's the solution to this mystery:

Damn! Sorry, I got it all wrong. My bad. I thought he meant the green square icon thing. Yeah, emperor is right, but if you want to view it in the editor you have to do what Black flesh said.

God I feel like an idiot now.....

What was off-topic was the fact that you began speaking of Wikipedia's and Google's relevancy to humanity. But fine, I'll restore the two other posts.
