Ok Justin now here's a really dumb question. If I get the beta and want to go back to the last actual release, can I do so by simply redownloading it? I know, I know, but it's the middle of the night and I am on pain meds for a hurt knee so my brain may not be functioning on all levels, :)

What I did was to hide all offline contacts completely. Since I have gone on to the beta version, I don't remember how this is done. The new beta reads the status of contacts just fine. It seems to be more accessible overall, but it is an entirely new interface if you are used to the current skype. There are other issues with the beta, such as many of the sound notifications not working, at least for me. It rings when I get a call, so this is only a minor annoyance. If you want to try it out, here is a link to the file. http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-macosx-beta Justin On Jan 14, 2011, at 10:53 PM, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: Hi Blake. I think many of us who have made or are in the midst of making the leap from windows to mac have felt this frustration of windows being more productive than mac. The learning curve is not a curve, it's straight up, smile. While I can't give you a lot of skype assistance, since I too do not see the status of folks in my contact list, I can tell you that it's worth hanging in with your mac. I hope someone on this great list can tell us both why we do not see the online status of our contacts, but in the interim, just take this all one day at a time. I'm getting there and you will, too.

As for telling when someone is online, go to the contacts table and arrow. After their name, it will say their status. ANd if you want to send a message to someone, V+SHFT+M and then arrow down till you hear send IM or something like that. HTH.
