Hi everybody,

I have the Nokia N900 and use Skype quite regularly . Recently I have noticed that when I go to "Conversations" and then press "New IM" the select contact tab comes up and I have "(no contacts)".

This was not always the case, for some reason I the "New IM" is not showing any of my Skype contacts, whereas in the past it would show all my Skype contacts and I could easily IM my friends.

The only way to see my Skype contacts is to phonebook contacts to groups and press "Skype" I can see all my Skype contacts. I've also checked Skype on my computer and I have made sure that I haven't deleted any of my contacts.

This is making it very difficult to send IM via skype and is giving me a headache!

I've tried deleting the Skype account and logging in again on the "VoIP and IM accounts" but still no joy :(

Has anybody else experienced these problems or know of anyway of fixing it? Please HELP!

Many thanks,



TT

yes.. i believe it discussed already in another thread. It supposed to be a bug if im not mistaking. You can IM only when another party online. But it works when you haven't delete conversation you can IM even later on when the person is offline.

In the New IM, no contacts are displayed.

No, the other party is not online, but i'm certain it should display the contact, as it showed them in the past.

I don't know the solution, but the work around can be, add contacts to your desktop and then you can IM them.

I have mine setup where my contacts and skype contacts are merged, so when I see a skype contact on, my contact on the phone book is green.

It happened to me as well.....Log out/log in helped to fix it in my case....One time even after logout/login, it was really slow to display online contacts.....
