Wondering??? Skye TIP
SKYPE TIP
How many of us are fascinated by the pencils running across the page at Skype? I am, however I always wondered why several pencils would run across the page and no conversation would appear. Here is the answer. I copy and paste the conversation for credibility. I personally like my pencil, I realize that it can be distracting to others.
[4:40:12 AM] We had a false alarm from information that I was given about the room being "Hacked"
[4:40:25 AM] Early this morning...
[4:40:53 AM] Apparently thanks to Allan this is not possible only on an individual basis
[4:41:23 AM] This is what I have been told at this point so all is well and Good morning all
[4:42:18 AM] PLEASE DISREGARD ANY INFORMATION PREVIOUSLY ENTERED SINCE IT WAS APPARENTLY NOT POSSIBLE ~~ THANK YOU
[4:43:38 AM] We had a strange occurrence where people who were not in the room were typing away and it would rotate with several different people and no message was ever being produced
[4:44:16 AM] this apparently is a glitch in the Skype software...
[4:45:27 AM] was a bit alarming to see yourself and others typing away and not being certain of how it was happening and concern for the people occupying the room was utmost at that time
[4:45:43 AM] but all is well, we'll see you all a bit later...
[4:46:29 AM] Thank you for your patience
[4:52:57 AM] this should work to stop pencils, Tools-Options-IM&SMS-unclick the box that says"show when I'm Typing"
[4:56:19 AM] Thanks for sharing Jim
[4:56:50 AM] My concern was for the safety of everyone in the room earlier this morning
[4:57:26 AM] thank you for that information and I am certain that everyone can use this
[4:57:40 AM] I'm off
[4:57:48 AM] I can appreciate that Marc. Ive seen this before in another room there were like 30 going at once was crazy
[4:58:09 AM] O it was definitely crazy
[4:58:13 AM] lol
[4:58:19 AM] * just could not understand it
[4:58:20 AM] LOL
[4:58:51 AM] Thanks
[5:15:26 AM] l lost one of my account when this happen in another room
[6:50:26 AM] PENCILS WILL FLY WHEN A PERSON LEAVES THEIR MOUSE IN THE BOX AREA TO TYPE
Even if they are not typing, but just reading, having their mouse in that box makes the pencils look like they are typing.
Even if they are in a different room, if their mouse is still over the typing area, skype sometimes displays them as typing.
[7:13:44 AM] Yes we all need to be vigilant these days of inherent security breaches
[7:19:02 AM] how strange huh?
[7:19:32 AM] I think they are taking lessons from Facebook - on obscure and annoying ways to to keep their users guessing
[7:24:35 AM] I tend to agree and since safety is a real issue such annoyances can and will be misconstrued as security issues as I did not knowing better earlier
[7:25:12 AM] this should work to stop
pencils, Tools-Options-IM&SMS- ADVANCED OPTIONS -unclick the box that says"show when I'm Typing"
[7:25:24 AM] this will eliminate your pencil folks
[7:26:01 AM] Thank you again Jim for that information, just needed one more step ~~ LOL
[7:26:21 AM] My pencil is history!!! LOL
