Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! Heyas there folks. Was hoping to get some help here before I go crazy. I recently just updated to the latest version of Skype, and as soon as I did, my connection to Facebook through Skype was broken. I don't even see the Facebook contacts tab any more. But now, here's the weird thing. I can hear Facebook contacts signing in and out, and I can see those same Facebook contacts in Skype home. However, as far as the actual contact list in Skype is concerned, they're not there.Before anyone asks, I've tried reinstalling Skype, and even went so far as to completely delete all traces of the program I could find in my C drive before doing so. Nothing helped. Any thoughts on what to do in order to fix this? Alternatively, can someone suggest an accessible IM client that offers Facebook support? Now that AIM discontinued Facebook chat support, Skype was my only choice, short of the main Facebook chat feature itself. Now that's broken I'm not sure what t o do...Thanks in advance for any help.Best, Albano.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! For those who haven't seen this Microsoft News article, have a look over here , thus in short, the only good that a Facebook connection with Skype is good for now, is adding FB folks to your contacts, and knowing when they come offline/go online. Or, um, that doesn't saound right...As for Miranda, your best best it to either use NVDA, or Window-Eyes with Steven Clower's Miranda IM App, which works with Miranda NG as well.As for Jaws though, the below scripts were only made for the Miranda 7 series:http://www.blind-geek-zone.net/Data/mir … 70a19w.zip URL: http://forum.audiogames.net/viewtopic.php?pid=218411#p218411 ___ Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! I've said that in a previous post. but adding your facebook contacts to Skype must be something you should think twice of.If you're willing to do that, keep in mind that a lot of your friends will come and go offline once a two seconds and everything will become extraordinarily frustrating. That is frustrating because Skype will alert you for everyone who comes and goes offline in case you use Skype talking or Skype scripts, though I don't see any reason why to use them. Skype is accessible enough. Just turn on accessibility mode and everything will be fine.Seriously I remember when I was skyping with my friend and I heard his Jaws all the time saying, Skype alert. John is online. . Skype alert. John went offline.That is not a good thing, is it?

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! Don't ya like it when links are broken? Link in post 14 updated.Now, as of the latest Miranda NG dev alpha for 32 bit and 64 bit , if you choose MSN as a protocol,t now uses a Skype For Web Gateway thing. Log in with your Microsoft account, and you should be be able to chat with your skype contacts without needing the Skype client. Unsure if audiovideo is supported, though most likely not.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! The Demize Of FB ClientsSadly, you aren't going to have many alternatives for FB Chat much longer, besides Social-Eyes on Windows, or using the Bitlbee IRC gateway. Keep in mind, the FB XMPP Chat functionality is for the most part, "gone!"You have "2" "main" options:1. Check out the "all-new" Facebook Web Messenger interface, and give it a spin! (Tab and shift-tab at least with Chromevox, reads messages in chats automagicly.)2. Here's the List Of FB Keyboard Shortcuts , which include FB Chat/Messenger Ones.A Quick TipYou are now able to "voice" and/or "video" with an FB contact from either a mobile to web stream, or web to mobile stream, without problems.You can "try" and give Skype For Web a shot, though make sure your computer and browser is "supported." (Microsoft Outlook or Skype Required.)Wrapping UpI wish there was more I could say, but only other option, besides the ones I listed above, is of course the "Mobile" site.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! It is pretty disappointing that they're slowly killing off all external support for their chat feature. What truly confounds me, however, is Skype's behavior. It's connected to Facebook, and acknowledges its existence, up to and including receiving messages from Facebook contacts. But the contacts themselves don't appear in my contacts list. It's truly infuriating.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! Miranda-ng is quite good, and I think it may use something other than XMPP to connect to Facebook, as it plays sounds for notifications, news feed events etc. Wouldn't be surprised if Facebook has plans to kill that off as well, but for now it works nicely.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! There should be there an all contact menu, or a menu which let's you choose which contacts to be appeared in your Skype contacts list.I think you should select all contact associated with Skype to be shown, like those from Facebook, and then check if they show up there, if they do not, then I suppose you should remove your facebook association with Skype, and sign in to your facebook using skype again.This is very frustrating, I suffered from a similar problem until I completely removed facebook contacts from there.Alternatively, you could use touch.facebook.comIt's far better than m.facebook.comIf you use it through Mozilla firefox, than it should be easy to interact with it.I have a version of aim, probably 7.0, or 7.5 which still supports facebook contacts. If you'd like, I could upload it somewhere.Hope I could help you somewhat.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! Wait wait... Your AIM still supports Facebook chat? Mine did so until mid April, then it completely stopped working. Miranda NG actually sounds like just what I need, however I can't figure out how to work reliably with Jaws. The contact list works nicely, but when I get into a chat window I just see unlabeled edit fields and unlabeled buttons. Any accessibility tips there?

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! That is an old version of aim, and the last time I tried it, it crashed on my PC and I removed it, also it made the jaws crash.I'm not sure if it crashes while using jaws 16 though.I honestly haven't ever used Miranda so can't really help about it.If you want to stop that Skype dialog regarding facebook friends like:Alert. john went offline and came online, just select Skype contacts only to be shown and it'll be fine I guess.So far I don't really see the point of using Skype talking or scripts. If you use jaws, it's fairly accessible.

Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall!
Re: Skype's Facebook feature is driving me up the wall! Well, as of yesterday, I started using Miranda NG. It took me some time to figure it out, and I still only know the basics, but it's really a beautiful client overall. And it actually handles Facebook chat way more efficiently than Skype. My favorite feature is that you can send a message to someone even when they sign out. This is something you can't do while chatting with an fb friend through Skype.
