HI Everybody
Reading some of your comments I am not sure if you understood my problem with Skype ? I was not getting at the Linux community !
On 1st of August without any forewarning the Skype Site stopped me Logging In to my Account
All the message I got was --Cannot Connect to Skype--- . There was no message saying I needed to update to Version 4.3
I assumed that my Password or user name was corrupted or Skype app was corrupted and tried to fix them .Not succeeding I looked on the Web Eventually after trying several searches I found a reference on the Skype Community Forum
Looking at the Quote they were not aware of it either I was not getting at Linux but the way Skype had stopped me using 4.2 without directions what I needed to do.
I wasted a lot of time finding out why I could not sign in using the same procedure I used a few hours ago . I found the App on Skpe Downloads easily enough
With reference to the Skype app it is OK on the update but not in the Linux Lite repository via Install Additional Software Menu so I was trying to alert Valtam or who updates that repository that it needs doing

From today, users with Skype for Linux version 4.2 and older will not be able to sign in to Skype. The error messages user will see during sign in may include “Can’t Connect to Skype” or ”Can’t login on Skype”. To continue using Skype, please update to the latest version.
