You will still have FTP access during a bootloop. The logs will be in /home/root/logs.

No dont copy and paste. Just attach the logs with the manage attachment button.

Try ftp'ing into the box, delete that skin so it reverts to the default skin.
Then if it boots OK, download the skin again.

That didnt work.

No idea so, I'm not near a box to try out at the moment...
Maybe try a fresh flash so.

Are you sure you deleted the correct skin?
As you can still ftp in, you can make a back up of your cams, config files, timers and so on...
Then when you reflash, you can ftp them back in no time...

hi i actually just reflashed and started over and i noticed that when installing my previous plugins 1 by 1 the on demand plugin would not install so maybe it had something to do with that but to e honest i dont really know!
