Skype Problems Yet Again

Some Skype users experienced some problems with the VOIP program earlier today in that they could not log in. Not nearly all Skype users had the problem, however, as I’m using it right now and have been all day. It’s recommended to update to the newest version of Skype for Windows. A Skype for Mac update should be out tomorrow. For real-time updates and help tips, check out Skype Heartbeat. The latest blog post by Peter Parkes follows:

Earlier today, a corruption occured in a small percentage of users’ systems that resulted in some of our community not being able to sign in to Skype. We issued some instructions which would allow you to get back online, but understand that they’re fairly technical, and have been working hard to produce a version of Skype for Windows which fixes this problem automatically. If you’re using Skype for Windows, and have experienced problems logging in, please update Skype to the latest version now. We plan to release an update to Skype for Mac tomorrow. Please subscribe to Heartbeat using the links on the right, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook to be notified of updates. Linux users should follow the instructions for a manual update. If you’re using Skype on your mobile, TV or other device, you should not have been affected by this problem, and should continue to be able to sign in as normal. We’re sorry for any disruption to your calls and chats today.
