So, I had a skin and when I went to leave Minecraft instead of hitting "Quit game" I hit the close button.. I am Premium and when I went back to Minecraft I was Steve.. and when I go to change my skin it says it's been changed but it hasn't... I am logged in too.. I've tried multiple different skins and times logging in. I restarted my computer, deleted and reinstalled Minecraft, and it still won't change. Please help!

I'm having the same problem perhaps something is wrong with them hosting the skins or something.

Edit: My skin is back :).

Woah woah woah, you probably could've saved more time looking at this.

It's been like that all morning. If you're so desperate to see your skin, get the Anti-Steve mod.

If you're still in Minecraft while you're trying to change your skin it won't work. Most sites have the 'change' button next to a skin. I recommend you exit out of everything else you're browsing in first, then go to that site and click that 'change' button. When you click it, it will bring you to minecraft.net and will ask if you want to change your skin. Click yes. THEN go back to Minecraft.

I don't have it open.

Well it has to be fixed soon. You can't have Minecraft without skins!
