Skype 7.1 problems

Previous versions of Skype would open with our list of contacts. We are unable to choose this on Skype 7.1 which keeps opening with Home. This leads to another problem.



We are unable to delete an unwanted message from a past deleted contact. This unwanted message keeps showing on Skype Home. Home shows “Updates from…………..are now hidden” We are unable to get rid of this reference to an unwanted past contact. This is not acceptable. We do not want ANY reference to this past contact showing. How can Skype engineers be dumb enough to supposedly "hide" a message but then forcibly retain a notice advising that updates from this unwanted contact have been hidden? We want ALL references to this former contact and its messages deleted!



We have deleted and reinstalled Skype several times but the problems persist. We have to assume there is some sort of fault in Skype that the supplier is unable or unwilling to remedy. Have others come across these issues? If so, have they been solved?



How can this message/notice be deleted or what is the practical alternative to Skype?
