Skype No Longer Notifies Me When Any Contact Comes Online

By default Skype displays a notification in the bottom right corner of the screen every time a contact in your contact list comes online. The earlier versions of Skype also used to do the same, but with an additional default configuration in which they also used to display the notification every time a user in your contact list used to log off.

In latest version of Skype, since no log off notifications are displayed, sometimes it might be an annoying situation when you expect a person to remain online and the person goes offline without any notification. Likewise, if you are not notified whenever a user logs on to the Skype account, you might never be able to know when a person is available for communication. This might happen when you are logged on to Skype but are doing something else while keeping the Skype window minimized.

As discussed above, by default Skype always displays a notification every time a user in your contact list signs in to the Skype. However situations might differ, i.e. you might not be notified about this if the settings have been tampered.
