Skype...not sending/receiving Instant Messages

Hi all,

I really do not know where best to put this thread, so mods feel free to move.

It appears Skype is having some issue, as for some bizarre reason I am not receiving all the IMs I am sent from one particular contact. This person says they send numerous messages but I honestly do not receive them, and it's really starting to annoy me as I feel incredibly rude.

Was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing, or you know of a solution to fix this issue? :s-smilie::s-smilie:

Are they able to receive messages from you? Perhaps try removing them from your contacts and re-adding them?

I just started a new Skype in the end. Apparently Skype and MSN have joined forces (didn't know that :dontknow: lol), so I just used my MSN/hotmail account, and that now seems to work . . for now anyway!

Reading the Skype forums though Skype is just littered with issues which Skype people seem to be ignoring!

Yes, for now anyway! lol

It's just annoying as it's my way of communicating with family the other wise of the world...ok yes I could use the telephone but seeing them is so much better, plus it's free! lol
