Help for searching contacts...

Hi,

 

I have a problem!

 

When I type a name (not Skype-name) i the "add contact" search box nothing i found.

When a friend of mine does the exact same search it comes up with a number of users to select from.

 

Why can't I find any users?

 

The Skype installations both uses default settings.

Please use plain text.

I want to retrieve my contacts from #2 Skype account , then cancel it and forward my existing credit to my #3 account.  How?   xs

The problem is on Skype network.

 

This is a periodic error on Skype servers. Happened already a couple of times in the past, and always only for some users. Usually the problem gets resolved after a day or so.
