Hi, i just updated to PR1.2. Now I cannot start a Skype chat to offline contacts but start a skype call? This is a bit confusing. Can anybody tell me how to write a skype message to a contact even if he/she is offline? In the previous release on my phone, i could go to my adressbook, select a contact and then start a skype chat, even to offline users. This is not possible anymore.
Thanks

I think it's not possible to leave offline contacts an offline message, cause skype wouldn't store it.

Some skype-users (like me) use the skypein + voicemail option. When I am offline and people call me, they can leave me a voice mail. (Skype extra feature)

I also looked into this. I think it is a bug. it should be possible (and is possible with skype clients on pc) to leave a chat message while your contact is offline, to be read later.

what I found out so far:
1. if you are yourself offline, then you see skype chat on contact. (wrong. no skype option should be given, imo). However sending a chat message does not work for obvious reasons.

2. if your contact has been offline all the time (while you being online), then you see skype call. (wrong. should be skype chat).

3. if your contact is online and you are also online, then you see both call and chat. (ok.)

4. if your contact has gone offline while you still being online, then you still see both skype call and chat. (ok). if you now go offline then it's like (1) (wrong). if you go online again, then it's like (2) (wrong).

partial workaround for sending skype chat to an offline contact: If you have a prior conversation list from that contact, then you can successfully send a chat from there.

would you file a bugzille problem report, as you are the discoverer of that problem ? (I also would, but did not do that before up to now, I would have to learn it).

I don't think so. If Skype stores offline messages, then both buttons must be shown. If is the called contact offline you can leave him a voice message....

Same problem here. But it's also not possible to chat with contacts which only "show as offline" but are online - worked fine before PR 1.2

Somebody filed a bug for this issue to sign on ?

Gah, this is one of the biggest things I use the phone for! My boyfriend and I chat on Skype as IM, but we're both invisible.
