Skype troubles

Hi everybody.
Lately it seems like Skype is messed up somehow.
Yesterday I could talk to Nick (who appeared as offline to me as I did to him) only after Jay had set up a group chat. Most people on my Skype list have appeared as constantly offline for many days now (quite unlike their usual online frequency) and some of those who do appear online don't seem to receive my messages (at least I never received any reaction whatsoever).
Has anyone of you encountered that kind of trouble on Skype before?

Some of those sound like the problems I used to have with Skype before. There was an update not too long ago which seemed to fix all of them, but I guess you've already checked whether there's any updates to your version?

While updating Skype would be the most obvious step (and consequently one which genious me had never thought off, so thank you very much for the advise

) it sadly didn't fix the problem.
I got a new Skype account called Malte27984 (less unwieldy names being taken already) and I am just beginning to realize how messed up everything is.
For months I have been wondering why hardly any of my contacts were online anymore or reacted to my posts.

I think skype is messed up. Some folks who look offline are online and some who are listed as online are offline. I'd guess that is why some never respond to messages when they look online. I use Trillian to connect to skype and it's the same. Some of the problems may also come from some maybe using hotmail accounts & not skype accounts. Just guesses on my part.

I personally haven't been suffering of these issues but I have noticed that certain people won't go offline even though they are (my sis for example).
