I've been having a lot of undelivered messages in Skype these days, that will only reach their
recipient hours - sometimes days - after I sent them. Anybody else experiencing these problems? I
would like to know whether the problem is on Skype's end, which unfortunately seems to be the
case, or due to my connection.

I find that if people are not online or in invisible mode then the messages are not sent. They
usually get sent after they come online though..

It could be the firewall at your ISP, they could be checking your messages.......

Next time it happens try calling the person and see if it connects of even gets a ring tone. Even
if they are invisible it will still ring..

I don't think you're alone. I'm having similar problems as well, where skype is unsure who is
online and offline, or whether or not I'm online for that matter. I prefer skype for both chatting
and webcam, but often times I've seen friends tell me on a different chat client, like MSN, that
they are on skype whereas my skype says they are offline. Usually this is fixed after I log off
and log back on. Conversely, sometimes when it displays them offline, messages that I send in the
middle of a conversation mysteriously do not get sent.

Anyone ever thought that the infamous Chinese Wall of Fire could be causing this?
No matter which chat tool I use, I always have these problems, except for my Chinese contacts.

Quote:

except for my Chinese contacts.

For Skype, I've been talking pretty much only to Chinese contacts. Also, more often than not, both
me and the person I was talking too were visible.

So now I use gtalk and msn more.

From Germany? Then it would make sense if it was a firewall issue...
