internet crashing w/video chat Dec 22, 2010

Speaking of skype, does anyone else experience problems with their internet "disconnecting" when they're video chatting? I have Vista and my internet is wired yet it frequently happens that the connection suddenly disappears (although the modem says it's still running) - ONLY when I'm using skype video chat.

Gets quite frustrating when you're trying to have a conversation and have to restart several times in the course of maybe an hour.Collapse

I'm connected, but... Dec 22, 2010

Looks like I'm connected on a Mac with version 2.8.0.851. When first opened my MacBook tonight it looked like a few of my contact where online, but as soon as I tried to call one contact the connection hung forever and when I closed that window all my my contacts were greyed out.

I've been away for a few days, anyone know if Skype has recently closed down a certain organisation's account

PS. My MacBook (and Skype) wasn't turned off - only in sleep mode. Maybe that's why it looks like I'm still online.

Website Dec 22, 2010

You'd think a website is a good way to quickly inform users about a failure. But no, instead you find a tip they have clearly not followed themselves:

"Holiday Tip #1
Avoid certain disaster and have mum guide you through the preparations
for the big feast over Skype Video."

down or not Dec 22, 2010

Not 100% related to this issue because the subject matter is a software, but see this: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com

I guess the domain is self-explanatory.
BTW, from time to time Skype is down today here in Turkey.

Not just skype? Dec 22, 2010

Is it just skype? I don't use skype but I've been having problems with connections and software crashing and freezing all day - anything that requires a connection, and I was surprised to find a colleague 3000 miles away having the same problems today.

Everything else works Dec 22, 2010

All of the other communication clients and VoIP applications work, so no problem with that. In the meantime, I saw the green light returning to Skype again, but only for a short time. So apparently, work is being done. Thank goodness that my business does not depend on it.

Greece too Dec 23, 2010

Skype stopped working for me yesterday evening (about 7pm GMT) and ... there's that sound! ... has just this second come back on.

I don't see most of my contacts yet, though.

New version... Dec 23, 2010

By the way, there is now a new version, namely 2.8.0.866. I just downloaded it, but this of course doesn't solve the connectivity issue.

Curious however that I was not notified about that new version through the automatic update function...

It flickered on and off briefly a few times between about 7 and 8 this morning - but it's been 'connecting' unsuccessfully ever since...
