Custom skins

Two problems with the Minecraft skins in the 1.8.0 update.

First, the game won’t let me change the custom skins (in the main menu and during a game). When I select a new custom skin, it just shows the first skin I have equipped. To change it, I have to close Minecraft and reopen it.

second, some of the custom skins are not loading right. Custom skins that have blank limbs, for example, show up blank.
