Skype status showing always online

Skype has recently started showing my online status as constantly "online" even after I have been inactive for longer than the configured time period of 5 minutes. Things that I have tried:

  • Reinstalling Skype on all PCs
  • Disabling all Skype Extras

I use the same skype account on my desktop, laptop, and Iphone. Any ideas on why my skype status may be stuck or any other suggestions to help resolve this?

UPDATE: I deleted config.xml from %APPDATA%/gdalgas in an attempt to resolve this which didn't help.

Go to Tools/Options and change Show me as away after X minutes to some other value. Like 4 minutes. Save it.

Then go to Tools/Options again and set it to some other value again like 5 minutes. Save it.


Not trying to be a wiseguy, but have you checked your General Settings under tools->options "Show me as 'Away' when I am inactive for" value is set correctly?
