adding contacts on windows 8

[mog11]

I have followed the advice from the Skype website on how to add a contact in windows 8 by right clicking on the page then selecting the + contact symbol. There is meant to be an options menu that then pops up but all that happens is the computer search sidebar comes up. What I am i doing wrong?

Type your contacts name in the search bar.

Select the contact then Click add to contacts.

hi ,

I have found the tool bar on rhs and done a search on skype with the skype name or email address but it just takes FOREVER to find anyone . In fact the little circle keeps going round like it still looking but hasn't brought up any contacts yet . Any idea what i am doing wrong ? thanks
