Used skype for years without any problem. But have had loads of issues with the recent upgrade running on Win10 Pro. Keeps going offline, online status issues with others online.

In the end gave up and rolled back to an older version. Anyone else having similar problems?

Yes. I went on to the new version and had a few problems. No dialling tone, couldn't tell if contacts were on line or not. No little reminder in bottom right of screen if they were. The dialling tone has returned, but I would have preferred to have stuck with the old version but I'm sticking with the new one as I'm getting used to it.

Same here – it's absolute gash! I had an important, long-standing conference call lined up for the other day and had a nightmare. Connected the first time, but then couldn't enter the conference code number, then subsequent numbers just wouldn't connect. In the end, we resorted to using mobile phones and I looked like a twit who couldn't operate a phone. Then yesterday someone was calling me but there was no way of me picking it up! New layout is cocking awful too!

I would LOVE to go back to the old version. Not sure it's possible though.

Reverted to what they call Skype Classic via their website, goes back to the old version and works a treat. A lot of my colleagues have the same issue, its not isolated

Thank you SO much! I've just done this and I'm back with the old version again. Bit of a first world problem, but it will hopefully make all the difference to me.

Cheers again [MENTION=15360]nicko31[/MENTION] :thumbsup:
