Is your skype on a one way ticket to cactus city?

[Lord Sidious]

[jjl]

yeah my skype is down too.

[Lord Sidious]

I thought it was just me before.

[jjl]

Nope, think it knocked us both off.

[pickle]

We were Skypeless Beings here... came back on just after 1pm Lancaster time ;-)

[Lord Sidious]

What I would like, is anyone who can log in, let us know by posting here on the thread.
Then the rest of us can test our own skype.
Thanks avalonuggets.

[pickle]

Spoke too soon - it's off again, and the same with our office in China.

[jozam]

My Skype off line too, so I ran it from programs and no-one is showing on line then it immediately crashed ...

All the best. JP :cool:

[astrid]

Mine's okay.

[Lord Sidious]

Interesting.
Oh well, a wait and see game it is then.

[ViralSpiral]

Germany is skyping to South Africa as we "speak" :)
some usual suspects (a.k.a friends) who are usually on, are off.....

[Darla Ken Pearce]

Oh, thank goodness! My SKYPE is off, too. I believe there may be time for a nap. Oh, I am whisperingsong ; ) xoxoxox

[ulli]

My skype is on but all my contacts seem to be offline

[ulli]

I'm figuring since Microsoft bought Skype recently ...from Ebay I think, but there may have been another owner in between
Anyway the newest owner is Microsoft and they are probably working on installing tons of new software to give us plenty of payment options for what used to be a free service

Sorry for sounding negative, but billion dollar takeovers usually focus initially on what benefits the new owners....
Part of their survival strategy

Mine connected all by itself. O_o


I was working offline and it popped up on my screen and connected itself without any by-you-leave (I always log out when I stop using it).

Of course after it had popped up and connected it wanted me to update it (approve updates).

[9eagle9]

YEA, I get the day off from work!

Oh I mean...I'm sorry to hear skype is down, I just tried to log in and it won't let me.

Check that - after it updated it gave me a page that said "skype has stopped working" :p

[Lord Sidious]

Mine keeps coming up saying Disk I/O error.
Is that what you guys got?

[John Parslow]

Hi Rob

Just sent you an off line message while my Skype is working but no contacts shown online. All the best. JP:cool:

[SKAWF]

Have a look at Johns little part of the forum above you.
See the skype symbol?
That is what you see, it is checking to see who is online and who isn't to update that on the page.

[Arpheus]

I just logged on to my skype and then it knocked me offline 2 secs after hmmmmm

[TWINCANS]

We crashed yesterday late afternoon and so did our uk convo.

My Skype crashed about the time Sid started this thread. I did't think anything of it until I read this thread. I re-started Skype. It seemed ok, at first but about a minute later, it crashed again. BTW, my Skype did an auto-magic self update yesterday. Very curious coincidence. Google is showing many reports of this problem.

On a different note, I was warned by a friend several months ago that Skype is about as secure as a wet paper bag and is being used by TPTW for spying. But is it Skype or is it that ALL calls are monitored? I don't let it concern me because I'm sure they have more important things to do than spy on me.

Any form of electronic communication is monitored.

OK, sorry it was oovoo that we had trouble with yesterday. It needed a reboot but finally worked.

Today our skype is actually working. I left it for a while (5-10minutes) to repost and it does seem to be working.

Does everyone use oovoo too?

It's just the same as skype only more mac-friendly. Just google for it - it's also free.

[Lord Sidious]

Mine keeps coming up saying Disk I/O error.
Is that what you guys got?

Bump for an answer.

[Cigan Mojia]

Skype's what to do with a I/O error:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10143/Why-do-I-get-a-Disk-I-O-error-when-I-try-to-sign-in-to-Skype;jsessionid=459D549E7231416216B236DF0DEE0C5B
... but you probably already did this.
Likely this has to do with the updates and/or the solar flares Sid.

Every form of conversation is assumably monitored to me, you must have fun with them every once in a while. Keep them on their toes.

Ulli... sad that conglomerations still thrive on avarice.... no?

[astrid]

My skype is lagging tonight, thats a first.

My skype is just not working at all.... here is a link that may help to explain.

Interesting that the problems have started since microsoft bought skype....Mmmm I suspect a little tinkering in the code may be the gremlin
