Fixed and not fixed
So much to my horror I found out when I installed MCEE on a new device that the option to turn off "only show trusted skins" had disappeared! Please bring that back! However after hours trying to find a workaround, I tried the latest preview and it is back! Great I though I can use that on the new installs, BUT multiplayer doesn't work with the current version! So when does this version come out or can you fix the MP on the preview so it works with the current build?

Hey there!
Sorry to hear you are running into some issues with this, I totally understand the frustration. We have had issues preventing it from meeting the expectation of what users want the toggle to do, so we removed it so we can refine and improve the experience to a place we all will be happy with the functionality of.
It does seem there were some unintended results, as the initial thought was to remove the toggle but leave the functionality of being able to see skins as a default, however we are getting reports now and then that do speak of what you have mentioned.
As for multiplayer, multiplayer will only work when all devices are on the same version. When you try the Preview, are all others on the same Preview version as well and you are all experiencing multiplayer connection issues?

So if you had the toggle set to allow custom skins on a previous version it still allows them. You can also still see custom skins locally, but on a MP map you don't see the custom skins that other players have on. So basically it's just causing an issue for me on new installs. I reckon I could get around it by various approaches on Windows, either by changing the options.txt myself or by installing an old version, set the toggle off and then install the new version. On Android tablets (I assume ipad too) though it's impossible to get them on if it's a new install (updates on Android and iOS also still show the skins if you you had it set to show them previously).

Also I can't risk moving all machines to preview right now, I have 65 kids coming next week and 65 devices setup, if preview causes issues and I had to revert it would be a nightmare. Although preview is a seperate install right? It also has the annoying text on the screen at the top though, so that is no good.

I believe there is just a setting in the local file options.txt that on Windows I could manually set to the value to allow skins to be viewed, however it's impossible to manually change this on Android (trust me I tried for HOURS) and I assume on iOS too (but I don't use iOS for MCEE anymore).
