Re: Let me stop all those Birthday Reminders Please!

I agree. It drives me up the wall, too. I'm on a Mac and I can't find any way to turn it off. You would have thought it would be obvious...

 

Any ideas?

Re: Let me stop all those Birthday Reminders Please!

Same here - on a Mac and I cannot find how to turn off Birthday reminders. I can do it individually, but my gosh! I have a LOT of contacts? Does no one know the solution to this?

I think you'll have to go to Skype\Preferences and unstick "Show address book contacts"

This does not work for contacts that aren't from the address book. We need this problem actually solved now.

Have you unticked "Show birthday notifications" in Skype's General preference panel?
