did they change custom UI function in EQ2?

What's the contents of your eq2.ini? Also check your eq2_recent.ini and make sure that that is pointing to your customer UI as well, I've seen that override the eq2.ini sometimes.

As for it not showing up in the list to load if you just do /loadui (with no parameters) - if the UI doesn't include an eq2ui_skininfo.xml the game won't show it in that list, but it'll still work when loaded manually via eq2.ini or /loadui <foldername> (although as you noticed that works only for the current session).
