Minecraft – Why doesn’t the Minecraft skin change to the new personalized one

minecraft-java-editiontechnical-issues

I have created a nice looking Argonian with the Lich Kings Armor on it along with the Deadric Helmet from Skyrim. What I want to know is why it won't change the skin I choose to upload to Minecraft.net?

I gave it plenty of time. Restarting my computer didn't do a thing, restarting Minecraft didn't do anything and even resubmitting my skin to Minecraft.net multiple times didn't do squat.

Anyone out there have any solutions as to why this could be happening? The skin I choose is much better than this alex skin. My appologies if this has been asked already but I've already Googled the information and none of the search terms I've used helped me glean anything from what the problem is besides it being a change in the website.
