The first time Skype really annoyed me was when it decided that all video must be in 16:9 format, with no opt-out, resulting in the picture basically being cropped at the top and bottom in my case.
The second time was when it auto-updated to the "modern" version which removes the list of all your contacts, showing which ones are online.
For the time being, go.skype.com/classic.skype lets you get the "proper" version back. For 1-on-1 online video chats when skype is playing up I can also recommend appear.in, you don't even need to download anything, but it doesn't have a full contacts feature either.
There was a time when everyone in the publishing industry used PageMaker, until they suddenly switched to Adobe (if Joel is to be believed). I wouldn't mind if the same happened to skype, but I don't know what the alternative is yet.
- bonestamp2 8y ago> which removes the list of all your contacts Ya, they fucked this up. Favorites are no longer supported but you can "pin" your "favorite" people so they go to the top, unless you have an unread message from a non-pin then that goes above your pins. But after you read your unread message from your non-pin then that thread is moved below your pins, so... good luck finding that again after you've had a few of those threads! It was far better the way it was before when the favorites and other were separate.
