Skype Journal: Panic Button Please
February 17, 2005 08:39 AMA tips and tricks on Message Deletion is required. However, as this user has learned "privacy" with message archiving in the latest edition of Skype isn't quite so simple. There are good reasons why what this user desires can't be done at the moment. We'll leave that for a tips and tricks posting.
I'm using v1.1.0.79. The previous version had the great trashcan icon so I could periodically delete messages during a chat. So, if someone came to my PC while I was making a coffee they couldn't see what had been said... forum.skype.com :: View topic - "Panic Button" to delete all text messages...
This is very important where Bosses, Husbands, Wives, Small children, Nosey mates etc are concerned!!!
Could we:
a) Have the trashcan back
b) Have a system setting to automatically delete the history on exiting. Yes, I know there is something like that there, but it isn't working for me, especially if I log in as a different user name on the same PC/Laptop (e.g. Work log in and Home Log in). It's very annoying to log in and find the text I thought I'd erased still available for every Tom, Dick and Nosey Parker!!!
c) Have a Panic Button to delete text and minimise Skype in one - great for use at work!
