@rpodric @Dr_Danimao @Skype Let me look into the search issue. Ideally we give people an option to extend the cloud history. We are working through this.
@WillFordGames @auriana_iris @Skype Thanks for the feedback @WillFordGames. See my responses to @auriana_iris. You should see active now for anyone who is on their computer and active on Skype. We tweaked it on desktop because many people are active on mobile and we wanted a system that works well across the two.
@xavier_f@Skype Thanks for the feedback. It stays active if you are in the app and after 3 minutes of inactivity you can see the last active time instead of away which is more accurate especially on mobile devices. If you don't want people to see your status you can set yourself to Invisible.
@auriana_iris @Skype We now have "last active" which indicates how long someone has not been in the client which makes more sense with mobile devices. You can still set yourself to DnD to avoid showing active. We are looking to continue to enhance and would love more feedback.
@Dr_Danimao @Skype The old Skype archived messages on the client but with the new platform messages are stored in the cloud and available across devices. Scrolling back should load up more than a year's worth of messages. You can still access the older client messages through the export menu item
