Hi! Well yeah if it's not working right I log in with the Web Skype (I could also use the desktop version) to see what's going on. Exactly, when it's phlegmatic like that, it won't update new messages without me loading server history. (And sometimes claim a message failed to send when it didn't!) But funnily today it's working flawlessly again, messages are being received and sending with no issues. So the only logical explanation is that something has been modified on the server side, we know they keep messing with it endlessly. Today I had 2 more people message me, (3 contacts today) and it's all working well again!
APOSTROPHE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED!
However the message receiving is problematic again (see other thread) - As of 8/13/2024, no it generally isn't automatically receiving new messages, and if I try to update server history, it tends to change a lot of previous messages, making it seem the other person wrote what I wrote. So I revert to a good database and update history again and then it does just the correct ones!
