I just updated to the latest version of Skype to check, and you are correct, v1.0 crashes/does not work. It appears that the Skype API was not included by default in this version. I've updated SkypeStatusFlick to version 1.1, which fixes a few small bugs, and also includes the latest Skype4COM.dll (the Skype API). Download using the link above, extract the zip file, and double click on the register_skype4com.bat to re-install the Skype API. Then you should be ready to go as normal (check in your Skype window after running SkypeStatusFlick.exe for the yellow 'requesting access' popup just in case). Please let me know if that fixes the problem! - Christina Hi Neal,

Updated Skype today and now SSFlick no longer works. Any chance you could update it to work with the new version of Skype? Been using this awesome program to keep my Skype online for months.

A quick note that I forgot to mention - you need to have your currently logged in Skype client set to 'Allow my status to be shown from the web' - you can set this in Options. Otherwise SkypeStatusFlick can't help you, as Skype's servers will return 'Offline' no matter what your status is. I'd love if it people could post back their feedback - did it work for you? If not, what happened? Wow, a hundred downloads, and not a single comment?
