Where did the call statistics go (the ones that appeared in betas during mouseover avatar image)? Have they been removed in 1.3 final? I see no mention of them on the changelog either.

I never could get it to work in the beta version.

Looks like Call > Call Contacts is still missing? Skype thinks enabling the display of larger fonts helps with accessibility? Yes, it can, for a very limited number of users, but this doesn't replace real accessibility efforts. Come on, Skype guys, please, at least, put back CAll > Call Contacts!

Darrell - we considered putting the Call > Call contact back in 1.3. As weird as it may sound, it created more problems than it solved, so we had to make a hard choice to not include it in this version. Instead of building alternative controls for accessing the functions, our goal is to improve the accessibility of main Skype controls, such as contact list, to screen readers. We know our track record in that area is not the best - but expect to see improvements in versions beyond 1.3.

Hey Eli and Rick!

Call Statistics is there. You need to enable it in your config.xml file.
