Hi clair. To clarify my words, I did not literally mean the people who designed the new interface for skype 4.1 should be shot, lol it was my way of saying it is a terrible design, and I can't believe that they adopted it as a new interface.
I actually did revert back to skype 3.8 it looks far to different for my liking, I spent ten minutes playing with it and couldn't even figure out a nice easy way of accessing the history for an individual conversation. Plus I don't feel like remembering a massive load of keystrokes just to get things done with really simple areas of skype like conversations. I just find 3.8 a lot more navigable, especially as in a lot of areas 4.1 just seems to make things that were very simple in 3.8 stupidly complex. I will put a suggestion in to skype regarding some kind of option for a 3.8 classic interface button. I am sure skype 4.1 does offer more accessibility features and better call quality but I don't feel like getting to grips with a hole new interface just for a few new features. I am probably a dinosaur, as I am going nowhere near windows vista or windows 7 either for a long time to come. I will only upgrade when I am forced to by the fact that developers stop making apps for xp. I spent ten minutes playing with skype 4.1 just looking at the interface and couldn't feel comfortable with it at all. Having said that Its a shame 3.8 doesn't have that conversation list feature that 4.1 does.
