Is your own connection status on Skype ”Online”? The status icon (the one left of your name) must be solid green with a white checkmark inside. Try to change the status using the dropdown arrow next to this icon.

Re: Skype Home does not load

having same problem.. seems like this has been problem for some time .. this is a new computer.. with w7.. while I have had problems on another w7 laptop.. it usually clears after a few minutes of clicking on the 'home' icon.. I pay for this skype service.. I don't expect bugs like this to persist for years without explanation.. this is 2012 and I see posts on this issue going back years.. does anyone have any definitive information.. is there anyone with skype techinical or do users simply fend for themselves? very unprofessional for a PAY service...

Re: Skype Home does not load

Had same problem homepage not load just the spinning icon  - Using Windows 7 with IE 10.

Fixed issue by going back to IE 9 version - homepage now loads correctly. IE 10 must have some problems with skype 6.0??
