Hi John. What's the latest version please? Somehow I have an awful feeling I'm not up to date.

TO find out what version you are running, If you are using jaws, go to the skype Window, and hit JawsKEY+Ctrl+V.
Another way is in the skype Window, Press Alt+H for help, then down arrow to about and press enter. You'll see what version you are running in that dialog. John

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.

There are any number of reasons why someone might want to delete someone on Skype.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Maybe the person doesn't use Skype anymore. Maybe they don't get along. Maybe they added the person, but then realized later on that the person is Spam. Maybe the person died. Frankly, its nun of our business why. John

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.
You don't, at least on mac os. I just went to contacts, right clicked on the contact, clicked the delete option then confirmed. Are you updated to the latest skype? I am aware you said yes, but just be double sure.

I think the only way to do it is to go into the person's profile. Although there's a way to simply delete contacts, I've found that the best way is to actually click on the "block contact" button. Alan

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.

Yes I am on the latest skype I think, and when I press the application key it says profile and remove from favorites and view profile. Nothing with delete anything, and if I try to delete a contact when I'm in the contact view it won't move out.

Re: can't delete anyone from skype.
Michele Barbi
Hey Kimmie, not sure about the read-only thing but...
Try to press the applications key or shift+f10 from within the contact in your contact list in order to open the context menu, latest option should be delete contact. Beware though that in many older Skype 8 versions there was not this possibility, so make sure you updated Skype. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Skype 8.78 for Windows desktop, conversation list works better
Michele Barbi
Hi list, as in subject I noticed throug ninite that Skype 8.78 is now out, so I installed it by going to Skype website. Now the list of contacts and chat work better, you might encounter that during a call when pressing alt+numbers the situation is similar to what we had with 8.77.0.97, even in contact list right now, but now you only need to tab some times and you'll find the list ok. For those having Skype for Windows store, I am not sure if the updates will really get late or what else, you can try to force the updates and you do that by going in the show more button, then choose download and updates in the menu, and hit the button which says recover updates. You will at that point get all the updates, again I can't guarantee that Skype will be updated but that's worth a try. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

What happens is that when there are some important notifications we need to use JAWS to pc or re-activate pc cursor. By important notifications I mean for example that a reunion is ongoing. Let me know if I need to organize myself in order to make a sort of audio demo for this. Bye!Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10

Split view makes chat windows appear as separate windows when you use Alt+Tab. It is turned on and off from the menu that appears when you press Space on the "More options" button that you reach with

the Tab key after you pass the Mood Message button.

Re: skype scripts not working
Michele Barbi
Hi Stewart,
Split view is a mode where chat windows are separate by the main Skype window. Concerning JAWS 2019, I think it will work, though latest scripts revision increased the minimum JAWS version supported. I think the earliest supported version is 2018 rather than 17.0. Bye! Barbuz -- Inviato da Thunderbird su Windows 10
