changing my profile photo

[lizricetoronto]

I read the help directions, but the Menu that they refer to is no where to be found.  I've been trying to figure this out for 1/2 hr.  I used 2 different browsers including Firefox.  WTF???

1.  open and login to the Skype application (not the website)

2. click the Skype menu, select Profile >> Edit Your Profile

3.  Your Profile window will open where you can change your profiile picture, and other details on your Skype account.

What if I don't have a phone with Skype on it???? How do u change your profile picture then???

The instructions above applied to the Windows version of Skype, not a phone.

What kind of device are you using with Skype?  Mac?  Wndows PC?

How do I change my profile picture in Skype profile at the website ??

I know how to change my profile picture in Skype for Windows,
but it is not updated in the profile when you log on to the website.
So how do I change my profile picture on the website ??

If you change your profile (including picture) in the app, it does not sync right away. Close the app and reopen it and Skype will then sync your details to the web site.

I have never been able to change my photo or delete my photo from my profile.

I also have found there is no way to delete people from my contact list.

I really find this Skype useless and full of bugs and I would tell everyone to stay away from it

It would have been helpful for you to add which version of Skype you are using, and on which operating system. 

I have never been able to change my photo or delete my photo from my profile.

• To delete an unwanted avatar or photo, replace it with something else such as another picture.  You could also create a blank picture by saving a blank document as a .png or .jpg file.

I also have found there is no way to delete people from my contact list.

• Highlight the unwanted name on your contact list.  Right click, then click Remove From Contacts.

While Skype may not be perfect in everyone's estimation, I beg to differ with your appraisal that Skype is "full of bugs."  By definition, a "bug" is different from a missing feature or other gadget used in another program or seen elsewhere.  Not knowing how to do something does not qualify said item as a "bug."  I use and have used Skype every day for years.
