MacOS – Skype is showing the wrong last messages

macosskype

I have a conversation between three users. When I look into this conversation the last messages are from Friday, which is wrong. These messages are always at the bottom (appears at last). So always the same messages appears at last despite there are newer messages.

I tried to reinstall Skype but it is still the same. Has anyone also experienced this kind of problem? What can I do?

Best Answer

I use Skype for Mac (as I presume you do), and I've had to troubleshoot contact status issues. In my notes are the following comments with respect to keeping a "detailed log:"

  1. Type in any chat line: /setupkey *Lib/LogLevel 4

  2. Then quit and restart Skype.

  3. Then type in chat line: /resynccontacts

Other commands:

/resynclivecontacts

So you probably don't need the detailed session log, but try the resync commands.

For a more advanced method, here is another procedure from my notes:

  1. Quit Skype completely
  2. Access https://m.hotmail.com in any browser
  3. You should see a "403" error page
  4. Restart Skype and verify the contacts are loading

Does that help? I'm sorry that I can't elaborate on the commands and techniques, since these were methods that I found without supporting explanation.
