So it looks like it is getting better

(11:34am Eastern). :hmm:

And for the record, I see there is a new version available, but right now I'm using v3.5.0.202 which has always worked fine in the past, so I doubt it has anything to do with the version number. (For those of you who mentioned it). ;)

Problems with Skype login

By My status Joosep on August 16, 2007.

UPDATED 14:02 GMT: Some of you may be having problems logging in to Skype. Our engineering team has determined that it’s a software issue. We expect this to be resolved within 12 to 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can simply leave your Skype client running and as soon as the issue is resolved, you will be logged in. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Additionally, downloads of Skype have been temporarily disabled. We will make downloads available again as quickly as possible.
12-24 Hours... Really.... 30 hours and counting. :(

Just after posting this skype came back online. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18892441 Fri, 17 Aug 2007 06:54:32 EDT Re: [Skype] Not functioning today http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18892331 Rick : Skype still not working here... 6 AM EST.
Is this a problem with the new software? version 3.5.0.202
is what I'm using and right after downloading it recently this problem started for me.

Not sure whether it's that or just an overall system problem affecting their 10 gazillion users now worldwide. ;)

Skype appears to be DOA this morning. Does anyone know why?
Even VoSKY acknowledged this!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18889815 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 19:58:33 EDT Re: [Skype] Not functioning today http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18888243 dualsub2006 : You know, I have taken advantage of this Skype outage to really try out Gizmo. I use it with Grand Central for incoming, but hadn't used the call out feature before today.

Jeebus, what a letdown.

Call out calls don't, well, call out. I was unable to get a single call to dial out. I got nothing at all but dead air. When someone called my GC number Gizmo rang and answered just fine but would not call out. Wasted $10 on that sucker.

To the fine people at Skype; get the freaking wheels back on the tracks and lets get this thing moving again. PLEASE!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18888243 Thu, 16 Aug 2007 16:02:23 EDT Re: [Skype] Not functioning today http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18887383 RockyBB : my Skype closed by itself. I just restarted it, and was "online" for about 30 seconds. My green changed back to gray, where now it sits.

EDIT: Oops! It just closed again. 9,000,000 people world-wide .. HOSED! Our old friend noodler would be proud!
