BUG: My Group Chats Keep Splitting Into 2 Conversations

Hello Everyone!I am on a Mac Version 10.7.5, running Skype Version 6.15 at my place of work, and we rely on group chats to assign out different projects across our team members through 2 different US states.I've noticed that my first group chat of the day that I start ends up breaking off into 2 conversations and it's rather annoying because some replies will only show up in one of the convos. Screenshot attached for reference - I blurred out names & conversation for privacy. There's one group chat with all of the names of the group participants, then there's another chat with the group that I had assigned.Does it anyone know why Skype is doing this or if there's a fix? Has anyone else experienced something like this? I know I can start a new group chat and tell everyone to jump to that one, but it's more efficient if the first one worked without issue, since there's a lot of participants in the chat.NOTE: As this is a work computer and there's a lot of us spread between locations, I am not authorized to make any updates to programs. I'm stuck with what I've got. Also, I believe I'm using a business version of Skype, so that might make a difference as well?Any insight is much appreciated!

Getting the same issue here. Created a 4 person group (myself included) and the chat split into two of the same conversation, with some messages appearing in one and some in the other. EDIT: I should also mention that on the Skype app of my Galaxy S5, the problem isn't there. The entire chat is grouped into a single convo with all messages there. So the issue is just on my laptop, running Windows 8.1. I'll update when I upgrade to Windows 10 in a few days and let you guys know if the problem is still there.

Hello,
Has anyone found a solution to this? It just happened to me and it is really quite annoying. I am using windows 7 SP1 and skype 7.0.85.102 What is the worst part is that the group responses come in the group i am not looking at, so i am constantly popping between the two copies. no one else in the group is experiencing this. I am the group owner (i created the group)

Grouped data being split into single groups.

I’m using DIAdem 10.0 and LabView 8.2. Trying to simulate a multi channel DAQ system, saving data as tdms. When using DIAdem Data Portal to load tdms data, the data come is as 1 Group (multi channels in one group) but when I use LabView and DIAdem to open / read / create report the data is loaded into DIAdem as multiple groups. One can use the LabView examples to reproduce this issue. Can someone help with some code that will open / read / create reports that keeps multi channel data as a single group? This will make it much easier to create a tdr template for multi page reports.
thanks

Hey Zilla,
The issue you are mentioning is expected behavior for the Express Report VI. This VI was created primarily for customers that wanted to create a report on the fly when streaming data. It does not work as well when using multi page report templates. I would recommend downloading and installing the DIAdem connectivity VIs which I have linked below. When you install these VIs, there will be a DIAdem palette that shows up under the connectivity palette within LabVIEW. In this palette is an express VI that I think will work better for you. The DIAdem connectivity VIs in general are very powerful and allow many options. You can run scripts within DIAdem from LabVIEW, export to PDF, and do several other things. I have posted an example below that should provide similar functionality to the Report VI, but it will work as you would expect with multi page reports. You will have to install the DIAdem connectivity VIs before running this example. Hope this helps!

Group Messages Split Into Seperate Group Messages

Problem:
Somehow my group messages are being split into seperate group messages. What is causing this?
Examples:
Example #1: I sent a message to my Mom, Dad, & Sister, which shows in my phone as a single group message. Mom & Dad have android, Sister has Iphone. When they reply, a new group message appears, which includes all of them, and each of their replys, but not my original message. So I end up with two seperate group messages.
Example #2: My friend Alex sends out a group text to me, and eight other people and it shows as one group message in my phone (Mix of Iphones and others). My friend Drew then replys and in my phone I now see two seperate group messages, but he does not. I then reply to Drews new group message, and now he sees two group messages.
Note: In each of these examples, all the same people appear in the message, so it is still a group message, BUT when looking at the different group messages that are created, the names of the people are in a different order.
Phone:
Iphone 6 Plus, Version 8.0, Network: AT&T,
Note: It also would do this with my old Iphone 4S, unfortunately I can't remember when it started to do this, whether it was after an upgrade etc...
Message Settings:
iMessage = On,
Send Read Receipts = Off,
Send as SMS (when MMS not available) = On,
Send & Receive = 3 Addresses, My Phone & 2 x Emails
MMS Messaging = On,
Group Messaging = On,
Show Subject Field = Off
Character Count = Off
Please Help! Thanks!

Same thing happens to me. So annoying. Most we can do is submit a bug at http://bugreport.apple.com so please do!

BBM Groups - conversations in group chats are always missing!

Hi, I'm a relatively new BB user. I belong to 2 BBM groups. All the group members are my contacts. In every single BBM group chat I miss parts of the conversation. It is very random what I miss and how much I miss. I can't follow the chat generally there is that much missing. There isn't a pattern, ie somedays I can see say contact x and y and the next day x and z. The chat never catches up, ie the missing conversation text never comes through hours later. I own a curve 8520 and my BBM group chat screen looks different to all my friends, they have later version BBs. I have version 5.0 software. I did an update for BBM via appworld, removed battery, left the groups, have been re-added and still no luck. I have no problem ever with regular BBM chat one-on-one with any of my contacts, only group conversations. My service provider have been no help despite multiple phone calls. Any ideas?

Send /get name chat command to this particular group chat.
If the returned name starts with #name, then this group chat is the old P2P group.
If the returned name starts with 19: then this group is the new Cloud based group.

Masters in a custom Theme split into two groups for no reason

Hi,
I created a custom theme.
The problem is that when I select it and click on Masters, I see my Master slides split into two groups.
This is annoying.
Any solutions?

same thing happening to me. in fact.. it seems like every slide i create...causes another instance of masters to be created. even though it's all the same theme.
Why?

Skype 7.1 Group chats broken - Legacy conversations??!

I constantly talk in a group on skype and i logged on today and could no longer send messages, receive messages, call the group or leave the conversation. I started a new group and got the error message - "This is a legacy conversation from an old skype client. Sending messages is not supported." I can still call and message in 1 on 1 conversations but not in groups.
I am using the most recent version of skype (7.10) and my mac is up to date (OSX 10.10.4) . Halp.

Highlight this group's name in the Contacts List so you can see the chat window for this group. Click on the Conversation menu and select Notification settings. Select there the appropriate option for the notifications.

Keep rejoining empty group chat in iChat. How do I stop this?

Last night, my friend made a group chat and I kept randomly disconnecting off my home network. I see the option, Rejoin this Chat and I check it. It logs me back on the chat. Today it still logs me in on to the group chat even though it's empty. How do I stop it from appearing whenever I log on to iChat? Thanks in advance.

That would be:-
Go to the File menu > GO to Chat Room and remove any Auto Join indicators :-)

Is there a decent and newbie-friendly group chat solution available?

The problem: we want to move away from Skype for our group chats, but can't find a satisfying alternative.
What we do right now: we use group chats a lot, for various purposes, but mainly a) discussing certain topics, or b) planning activities/inviting people over, etc. People use all kinds of different operating systems.
Currently we use Skype for that. The advantage of Skype is its ease of use: users can create group chats by simply clicking on a few names. Chats are persistent: if you go online and come back the next day, you'll still be in the chat, and you will be able to read what was discussed in the meantime. If you add somebody to a chat, they are in it immediately, without having to enter a room address, or a password, or something like that. The participants of a chat control who gets added to it, and you cannot join a chat without being invited.
The disadvantage is its closedness, which makes us depend on a single vendor's client software and their monetary interests. Plus it has been bought by Microsoft, so the future of the already lagging development of the Linux version is unclear - and users of other OSes have been generally unhappy with the recent versions. Also users can not integrate Skype into already existing multi-protocol-messengers like Pidgin, they have to run the official Skype version at all times they want to chat at.
Quite a while ago a couple of us made an attempt to move our group chats to Jabber, but the acceptance was really low - opening a chat room was a hassle, they had to be password protected to be private, invitations weren't automatic, or the invitation features of clients were buggy, and by going offline you left a chat room, meaning people had to rejoin the next time they were online, and didn't automatically get to read the conversation that was held while they had been away. IRC is out of the question too, because it lags nearly all the features mentioned above.
Now I am wondering if anybody here knows about a free, open Chat software, that makes group chat (nearly) as easy as they are in Skype.

Well, IRC does not meet quite a few of our criteria. A typical chat lifecycle might look like this:
User A decides he wants to play football the next week. He starts a chat, adds 10 contacts that he knows might be interested, and makes a suggestion for a date and time. People come online, instantly see the chat and everything that has been written, answer, etc. Others join the chat later, see what has been said, and leave. Somebody might invite a couple of others to the chat, which will be immediately added. People play football, have a bit of postgame discussion, and then either plan the next session, or the chat dies.
I just do not see how this is a workflow that we can easily achieve with IRC - at least not in a way that people will be happy with.
- you can not automatically add people to a chat afaik
- chat history is not persistent afaik
- you do not necessarily want everybody to be able to just join a chat, but you also do not want to do a lot of configuration to restrict access to a chat/channel, when it might be about tonights event.
- people do not want to type /join #birthday_present_for_xyz, they just want to be added
I don't know why, but the openmeetings demo just doesn't really work for me - I get a lot of connection errors, it's painfully slow and hangs itself.

Group chat *ell, How do I leave a chat forever

An idiot friend of mine added my email to a group chat his kids use to share vacation pics...........the rest is pure *ell. The last 4 months i've been getting 50 - 80 kid text conversations a day (lol, i like pie, candy, poop....(just think of something really stupid). My friend thinks its no big deal. GERRRRRRRR
How do I make this end forever. I know I can delete the conversation but then it comes back. I need imessage for other things and I don't want to turn it off.
Please for the love of God can anyone help me? Or does anyone have any good revenge ideas for my good friend?
Thanks for your time!

Hi,
I take it this is a group chat within the iMessages set up rather than an AIM or Jabber based chat ?
I have sent as a test an iMessage to my wife's iPhone number and my own iPhone number (as opposed to Apple IDs)
As you say you or anyone involved in the Conversation can delete that chat but it does not stop the chat as soon as one person who keep it active types a message and sends it.
Once the group chat is listed with several people (and they can all see the names) anyone can keep it going - it no longer belongs to the Originator.
With iMessages there is not way to Block people.
The only way this is going to end is for everyone involved to delete that conversation.
Then the kiddi-winks would need to set up a new conversation without you.
Seems like http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html is needed.

Bug in Tab Control when inserted into SubPanel

Just would like to report about pretty old bug, which is still present in latest LabVIEW 2013 SP1 13.0.1f1.
I would like to insert SubVI with Tab Control into SubPanel, something like this:
When SubVI executed, then I will set it to Page 2:
Now what I've got in my SubPanel:
Page 2 is active, but selector is not actualized - still show me active Page 1. Fully inconsistent.
Not sure if it was reported already or not, but needs to be fixed from my point of view.

But yet another problem with tab controls...
Seriously though, if you are already using a subpanel why complicate matters with a tab control?
Dynamically swap VIs in and out of the subpanels to present the same user experience as there was with the tabs.
You're right - there are many ways to workaround about this bug. For example, if I will use Property Node instead of terminal or local variable, then it will working properly.
This contstruction with tab control in subpanel used in my settings dialog. I have modular plugin architecture, and some plugins may have settings, so they organised in the same way as LabVIEW Options dialog - listbox with installed plugins and subpanel, where according subvi from plugin is inserted. Mostly all plugins fit into my dialog (which is not resizible at this moment), but some modules have lot of settings - then they splitted into groups and the tab control is used (NI does this with vertical scrollbar, which is also not perfect).
When user made changes in settings, then last opened page is saved - when this dialog opened next time, then user should see last page - this is why I need to set page programmatically.
Really, I don't like to change whole architecture for workarounding bug in LabVIEW just for few modules. At this moment I using property node and it works for me.

Group Chat missing from Phone/OK on PC

Hello, I have lost one of my group chats from my Android phone which works fine on my Desktop and Surface PCs. Nothing I have done seems to recover my access to it. I uninstalled Skype on my phone, powered the phone off, powered it on, reinstalled Skype. That didn't work. Uninstalled Skype again, checked to make sure there were no Skype files left behind. Didn't find any. Rebooted the phone again. Reinstalled Skype a second time. That did not resolve the problem either. When someone types something in the Group Chat it shows as a notification on my phone. If I select the notification it will show me what they said, but the group chat name does not show up and instead it shows as "Person Name, ..." and while the text entry box shows up along with the arrow, I can't select it. Attempting to type anything in the box doesn't work since it won't even pop up the keyboard so I can type. I can favorite it, but then it will still not show the chat name, will not allow me to send messages, will only show one participant in the chat (not me), and will not retain a history of any of the messages that come in (once they are viewed from the notification they are lost). So there's no effective way to interact with it. Since it is my chat of which I am the administrator, I can't add/remove myself from the chat either. Chat starts with a name=19 which I am told means it is a cloud based chat. I started it roughly 8 months ago maybe? Phone: Samsung Galaxy Note 3Model Number: SM-N900VAndroid Version: 5.0Network: Verizon Wireless (also use it on my Home WiFi)Skype Version: 5.7.0.13054 Additional Note: I am missing all group chats. I had one that I hadn't created so I asked the moderator to re-add me after I left it using my PC. They could re-add me and I could see the chat on my PC but it still doesn't show up on my phone. My Skype IMs to certain people are also very delayed. I just sent a couple of IMs to the admin of that chat and they are just sitting there dim grey and pending. I can communicate fine with other individuals. Yet the same person, I can communicate without delay from my PC.

Hi, I've had this exact same problem myself. Skype 5.8 on Android 5, Lolipop. No amount of resetting or uninstalling will help. Symptoyms include, but are not limited to: - Messages always dimmed, even though people can see and respond to them- Get notifications that show up in the system and show real messages, but cannot be seen at all inside Skype- Complete loss of all Skype history; everything becomes completely invisible, as though you never had those conversations- Complete inability to use group chats whatsoever; only one person will show should you join them, and you won't see any messagea from anybody at all (whether posted before or posted while looking at it)- Occasionally, some pictures (whether profile photos, emoticons, or images to the Skype app itself, including the logo) don't load at all. This was a _huge_ break, it's literally bricked Skype. The application is completely worthless now; what kind of a chat platform can't even deliver messeges? It's an alpha quality release, and I hope the Skype team gets to work on fixing this as soon as possible. I hope in the future it's tested more robustly; these are not subtle bugs, anyone who installs the cersion currently up will find they are no longer able to use te service. Feeling helpless, confused, and very frusterated there's nothing I can do to fix it (and that in all likelyhood, the earliest a patch will come will probably be _weeks_ away, if ever).

Can't Join Group Chats, Can't Receive Files, and Skype Home Doesn't Work

Okay, so back when Windows 8 was newer I got my current laptop and when I saw Skype's original Windows 8 design, I said hell no to that and downloaded an earlier version of Skype instead. When Skype did that big overhaul and stopped support for all older versions, I was at least happy to see it was back to being on the desktop instead of that Windows 8 pseudo-tablet nonsense. But at the same time, I stopped getting notifications from Skype Home - it always says it's unavailable. Some time after that, in between Skype's updates, I started having trouble with Groups. Every time someone tried to add me to one, I couldn't see it, even if they said I was in it on their screen. Eventually I had to start making all Group Chats myself, because at least then it worked for me... up until the 7.7 update. Now no matter how I try to get into a Group now, it straight up doesn't work. And before I got locked out of Groups entirely, I started having issues with files, right around when the "inline photos" thing happened - they just don't work when sent to me, and I can't send them either. When people try to send them to me it's just a grey image and something about how it's not supported or it didn't go through. I've sort of just been patiently dealing with all of it until the newest update when Groups stopped working entirely and I was in the middle of trying to join an important conversation. I Googled that specific issue and found a ton of unresolved threads about it dating back to at least 2013, I believe. I tried every suggestion I could find - I restarted, uninstalled Skype, reinstalled Skype, restarted after uninstalling and then reinstalling... the list goes on. Every time I got it back, it was the same. Now I'm on Windows 8.1, and I don't know if that's related, but my boyfriend - who uses a Mac - is having none of these problems whatsoever, and he also has the latest version of Skype. With older versions of Skype not available, I ended up trying Skype Web, and it's letting me see all the Groups, which is the most important thing but I'd really prefer to go back to the desktop version. All three of my issues might be unrelated, but they've all progressed as Skype has updated so I figured I'd try to get help for all of them. I'm at my wit's end, here. I use Skype for a pretty large portion of my online communication, and being unable to use Groups or get files is really crippling the experience.

Hi,
I have the same problem.
Since I'm using my new Laptop with Skype 7.0, I can't join to a group chat.
It's a public chat and joining is enabled.
With my former laptop and former Skype-Version, I never had this problem.
I could click on a link in the browser and joined to the group.
I have to chose a program.
Unfortunately Skype.exe seems not to be the right decision.
I'm asked to get a Skype-app, which I never needed with the old version.
Which kind of app do I need and how can I get the app or what else can I do?

Logic error: "Image size error [...] too large" when setting a group chat picture *UNDER* 512px

Skype version: 4.3.0.37 on Arch LinuxI'm able to set a group chat's image to this image (513x513px, 60240bytes), but as soon as I crop it to something smaller, like this image (512x512px, 59544bytes), it gives me the following error message:even though the image is actually smaller than before. So the error message shows up for images that are of size less than or equal to 512px, giving a misleading information saying that the image is too big while the actual code is restricting it to a minimum of 513px. Edit: Also, there's a bug with the community. In making this post, I used my website to host the images, but then the forums automatically replaced every instance of my Skype username with "[Removed for privacy]", including in the link tags. So the links were mutated into "http://[Removed for privacy].me/misc/skypebug/513x513.jpg" etc.

Yes this is a real pain. I'm using v 4.3.0.37 with Fedora having the same issue. This seems not due to te image dimensions.If anyone found a workround?

Skype 6.20.64.104 | Large group chat messages take...

For a while I've been on 6.18.xx.xxx, but decided to try out the new skype since it's all fancy looking and such, but sadly it's extremely slow for me in group chats with more than 30 people. I'm in 3 - 4 group chats with 100+ people, some have 300 people. Sometimes it's instantly sent and other times it takes forever to be sent. This does happen on versions all the way down to 4.X (linux version), but it's even worse in this version, before it would only take 5 mins at max to send a message, but now 20+ mins, what in the world happened.
I know this is mainly due to skype being peer to peer, but honestly, it's just really annoying also side note about the P2P stuff, it's easy for people to get your IP and DDoS you due to having P2P.
Here is my speed test to show that it's not my connection.
PS: sorry if this was hard to read, I am quite bad at explaining stuff in an understandable manor.

So, I have had this issue as well but now it has gone a step further.
My old solution was to:
1) leave conversation
2) Delete conversation
3) Have a peer re-add me to the chat
Historically that has worked, however now i appear to still be "in" the chat to all others but for me, the chat room is nolonger in my history at all. Because of this i cant actually get back into the room and the room must be recreated as far as we are aware. Any solutions? Also, i was the creator of the room when I left without a replacement admin (forgot i had created it, normally that is another persons job but i had to fill in that day).
Any tips let me know! Hopefully i dont need to make the room all over again but if I need to, it is what it is haha.
Thanks!
Jim
