Recent changes on blogs.skype.com
We’ve made some improvements on blogs.skype.com over the past days. Many of them because you asked for it. Anything else you need? 
* **capacity upgrade.** At times during the past few weeks, the site was unresponsive or even down at times. No more, as we’ve boosted capacity the system can handle. So bring all your friends here.
* **trackback support.** The trackback URL is at the end of each article, close to where you can post comments.
* **comments and profiles** now support line breaks (just hit Enter – no HTML). Things that look like web links (http, https, or host names beginning with www) are made clickable automatically. You can use the [quote][/quote] pseudo-tags to do quoting.
* **text affiliate links**. Want to collect Skype points but don’t want those banners and instead, want to embed the link in your text? Just head to the [affiliate banners page](/affiliate/) and scroll down to copy-paste the text link code. (You can of course modify the text that is displayed, as we couldn’t stop you from doing that anyway.)
* **latest forum posts**. To the right, you can see the latest forum posts that take you directly to the forum, so that you can easily keep an eye on what people talk about.
* **Skype extras showcase** [here](/directory/) had some weird sorting bugs and wouldn’t show you more than 5 items regardless of what you picked in the dropdown. Fixed.
* **Skype API 1.3 documentation**, available [here](/developer_zone/documentation/api_v1.3_documentation/), had initially some weird bugs that made some subtitles invisible. All fixed. We know there’s an issue with rendering it on Firefox, as it loses the content of some example “boxes”. If this happens to you, just hit Refresh, or try another browser. (And that document in itself at this time is not very usable, we know — we’re working on getting you the PDF, and making the web version friendlier.)
Nice so far, I look forward to future changes, im sure you have something special planned…
pdf of 1.3 docs?

If you re-read the article You will see that the PDF of the API 1.3 documentation is being worked on
It’s nice to see that you are listening.
Love the new layout…May the Force be with you..young Skypewalkers!
*arg* forget the profile thing – it did just scroll to far down and i mistook it for the non profile box.
Another change i think you could make is make the text where it tells you how many points you have, that is orange on read and it is hard to read. maybe you could change it to a different colour?
can Is skype point call phone????
Great Code Bob!
May I add I didn’t use Skype before and this turned me into an advocate.
I took (as you know) the liberty of working off of your code and make a Key Object Library translation of it
Well, it kinda works for me. It answers the call and play the greeting on the answering pc but the calling pc never hears the greeting!!
Nice application, but it seems to have a small problem:
On my machine, it doesn’t handle the Windows Audio Mixer Record lines properly. When the Welcome.wav plays, the Audio Mixer selects the Microphone Record line, rather than the Mono or Stereo Mix line, so the caller nevers hears the message, and the caller’s message isn’t recorded unless I have my speakers turned on and my mic plugged in.
When I manually select the Mono or Stereo Mix Record line on the Windows Audio Mixer when the Welcome.wav plays, the caller can hear it just fine and it records the caller’s message without any problem.
Download location has changed (I’ve switched ISPs). The source code can now be found at http://www.eBob42.com/ftp/tdm/constr120.zip
