Hasn't worked for me, or a couple of people I've spoken to, all day.

Same here today nothing since about 10, yesterday was working all day. Nothing mentioned on their website - bloody annoying when you pay for SkypeIn and SkypeOut and use it in anger

Right there on the front page of www.skype.com

Hello everyone,

Apologies for the delay, but we can now update you on the Skype sign-on issue. As we continue to work hard at resolving the problem, we wanted to dispel some of the concerns that you may have. The Skype system has not crashed or been victim of a cyber attack. We love our customers too much to let that happen. This problem occurred because of a deficiency in an algorithm within Skype networking software. This controls the interaction between the user’s own Skype client and the rest of the Skype network.

Rest assured that everyone at Skype is working around the clock — from Tallinn to Luxembourg to San Jose — to resume normal service as quickly as possible.

I saw this about teatime while pulling a copy down.

Seen it now - wasn't on there earlier in the day - I see the status icons are from the realms of fantasy:

SkypeOut
All working normally.

SkypeIn
All working normally.

Skype Voicemail
All working normally.

Skype SMS
All working normally.

How does all this work normally when you can't fekkin sign in

Sounds like a load of bollox to me.

What's also a load of bollox is SkypeIN is most definitley NOT working for me even though I have call forwarding set for non-answered calls - LYING CNUTS!!!
