Group Guidelines

Hello all. It's that time again, where a reminder is sent out once a month regarding the rules so here they are.
Hello to all. Hear is this month's reminder of the Skype English rules. taken right from the welcome message
Hello and welcome to the Skype English list. Here our goal is to have fun discussing various things related to skype and the screen
readers such as jaws and others. Remember the following:
1. flaming of any kind, virus warnings, spam, or anything off topic will not be tolerated.
2. Posting in HTML is aloud, but no links will work. The message will hopefully be converted to plain text. Let me know if you see
any attachments. i doubt you will.
3. Absolutely no attachments are aloud on this list. Security comes first and this will minimize the chance of viruses spreading.
4. Keep all intro threads to at least 3 or 4 messages before the thread is taken off list. That way we don't drift off topic. I
know this is going to be hard for most of us including this mod here but if we keep the messages on topic the archives will look
a lot cleaner and people will be able to find info on what they need.
5. speaking of clean archives absolutely no discussion of anything other than Skype and its use with screen readers will be tolerated on this list. If the admin notices any other topics such as google talk on this list they will close the thread immediately. I hate to do this but this is to keep the archives easier to find for old members as well as new ones.
6. When you first join this list it's normally customary to send out an intro message. Since this list is growing by leaps and bounds this will cease and desist. The new comer will now if they want to send out a question regarding the scripts, skype, gw connect, anything that this list covers. any "hello" messages and "I'm new. here is my info" messages will no longer be tolerated. We want to keep the searchable archives at the mail archive as clean as possible.
7. Before you post your question(s) to the list, please search the group archives or do a google search. This prevents the cycle of repeated messages. It also teaches you the user to search before asking for help. Oly when you have exhausted yoru resources should you come to this list. We get a lot of messages, so the archives are full of stuff dating back to at least 2005.
. Have fun and happy skyping.
Failure to abide by any of these rules, especially the last one, will get you 3 strikes then the member is band from said list.
Take care all.

1. signed into my skype account on different computer, running 8.66. After a few minutes it automatically updated to 8.67, and still worked. I left it running. Came back to this one and un-installed 8.67. 3. then downloaded the setup from skype.com 4. ran the setup, of course it acted like it was brand new. It stopped at first with nothing as it was before. The sign in window then opened with account options. This time it had an additional option to sign in with My MS account. I didn't choose that but instead moved to the armadillo409 accunt o unt. This time it indeead sign in and went through typicall options. Here's a funny thing. The version I'm on right now is version8.67.0.97. The version on the other computer is: 8.67.0.99,

The Store version and the Desktop version have the same interface but are technically different applications by the way. This issue should also be immune to which of those you run. I've logged in from both myself with the same account.

Uninstall it, go to www.skype.com and download it direct. I've done that with other versions and it seemd to work.

I was going to suggest the Disability Answer Desk, but that page says to go to the above page for Skype support and that the Answer Desk is not able to help with account issues.

All I did was click on the notification thing, and let it install automatically. It should load when I restart, which I haven't tried yet.

would coincide with a Skype update except that a Skype update of course forces Skype to restart.

Hi guys, I personally received a notification in Skype which was not very accessible, but after clicking I got updated to 8.67.0.99 without problems. What I noticed though is that in latest period they released many hotfixes for Skype 8.67, though apparently for Windows only.

Hi, Ken. When you get these unconfirmed downloads, you must go to your download area with CONTROL plus J, find the "Keep, and Keep Anyway" buttons and click them to keep the downloaded file.
