Question Regarding Skype Usage

"Hi everyone. About 10 days ago, I was searching for the contacts of a certain lady acquaintance all over the internet and social network by copy-pasting her name and searching. I don't know how, but somehow the name got pasted in my Skype profile under the 'moods' section. My partner saw the same immediately. I noticed the error/mistake a day or two after. I deleted it. However, today, my partner just turned on her Skype. I was online at the time. My partner then noticed the name of the acquaintance under my Skype name and soon after it disappeared. My partner is now accusing me of deleting that name as soon she turned on her Skype and wondering what is going on, or rather what I am hiding: Why my acquaintance name was still on my moods section 10 days after the incident and 5-6 days after I "claimed to have" removed it. Can anyone help explain what happened. This is serious. Please help? Sorry again for asking such a question to resolve a domestic row.

Nb. This was the first time I was in touch with my partner since the name of my acquaintance was pasted in my Skype's 'moods' profile."

 

Hello Laura;
Thank you for trying to correct but you have wrongly interpreted my question. I want someone to explain how, when my partner turned on her Skype, she was able to see the name of my acquaintance name momentarily (under my Skype name) before it (name of acquaintance) disappeared. My partner is accusing me of removing the name of my acquaintance soon after she (my partner) turned on her Skype. I didn't. I removed that name (my acquaintances') 5-6 days ago. Since the day I removed the name (acquaintance) it was the first time I was in touch with my partner on Skype. The bone of contention is that my partner thinks there is a reason the name was there for 10 days. I insist that I removed the name immediately I noticed it which was 5-6 days ago. So how come she (my partner) momentarily saw the name of my acquaintance briefly before it vanished?

I hope this is clear to you now

 

So please revert to the original title, or recommend a new one, as the current title will mislead readers.

 

Anyone who is in your contacts can see 'mood' settings.

 

OP asked:

If a mood setting has a name of a contact, everyone sees it. I've been using Skype for years.
But I'll leave it to you Laura.

 

Hi Laura. Read my explanation once again. I said I was searching social sites, Skype etc using copy-paste. My computer too keeps hanging. I could have pasted it there during one of those moments the comps was misbehaving. However, that isn't the gist of the question. We have now complete lost the thread of thought on the issue I raised. Can we go back?

 

Did you use Bing search, Google search, or?

 

Hi Laura again. This thread is now corrupted. Can I post the question afresh. Please feel free to recommend changes. But I need answers urgently.

 

No one here can give you any answer, other than what you have said that you accidentally creating a 'mood' message with a contact name in it. We are not clairvoyants. You could post on the Skype forums where there are people and moderators with knowledge of Skype in great depth. But even I know, as a user, that creating a mood message, by accident or not, with a name or link in it is visible to all contacts.

 

You mentioned Skype and searching, underlying those is the Windows platform and login credentials used, and the browser/search engine(s) used (along their with associated telemetry, data-sharing, cookies, possible ad/malware interference, etc.). Without any other data forthcoming, it's easy to assume that you made an honest mistake somewhere down the line.

 

Hi MaxTurner. Thanks for your input. However, Laura misunderstood the gist of my question and misdirected the question here. The original title was actually correct. Domestic disagreement as a result of Skype misunderstanding. Read my original question and you will understand the gist. You can read the follow up clarification I sent to Laura. Will welcome your input though. Thanks.

 

This isn't a forum for domestic disturbances or disagreements though. That goes without saying.
You suggest in your own words that you unknowingly, mistakenly, created a 'mood' message on Skype - which every person in your contact list will see.
That's the technical IT issue.
Any personal fall out from that is not anyone's concern here.
You seem to be making this issue complicated, in technical terms.
It's a learning experience for you, that's about all. It's not a real support issue.

 

Hi MaxTurner. Thanks again for the input. You are paying attention to the incorrect interpretation of my original text by Laura. Please read the original text that I wrote and you will understand that this is very much a technical issue, that may actually involve cache memory, that has now turned into an acute domestic row.

Note that I posted the original text under "Lounge" and Laura mistakenly directed the question here.

 

I'm paying attention to the technical issue. It was never ever a 'Lounge' issue at all, that was the wrong place for it. However it happened, you yourself say a mood message was seen by someone. It would because all contacts would see it. The technical reasons for it appearing are because somehow, inadvertently/mistakenly, you posted it while logged in. End of story already!.

 

Hi Laura. Since this thread has been completely corrupted and thrown out of its rails, tomorrow, I will post the question once again in the 'lounge' section. If you have any suggestions before then, let me know. Regards.

 

What exactly do you want anyone to say to you? If you want an answer to why something in SKYPE you say you deleted reappeared then CONTACT SKYPE!
And the answer to that is not a 'Lounge' issue, it is a SOFTWARE issue!

 

Hi MaxTurner. Thanks again. I appreciate your selflessness to help. Below is the original text. Please read to the end. If it is not clear please let me know how I can frame the question.

"Hi. About 10 days ago, I was searching for the contacts of a certain lady acquaintance all over the internet and social network by copy-pasting her name and searching. I don't know how, but somehow the name got pasted in my Skype profile under the 'moods' section . I noticed the error/mistake a day or two after and I deleted it. However, today, my partner claims that as soon as she turned on her Skype, she briefly saw the name of my acquaintance under my Skype name, and soon after the name disappeared. My partner is now accusing me of deleting that name as soon she turned on her Skype and wondering what I had to hide. Can someone explain why my acquaintance name was still on my moods section 5-6 days after I removed it? This is serious. Please help?

Nb.
1. This was the first time I was in touch with my partner - on Skype - since the name of my acquaintance was pasted in my Skype's 'moods' profile."
2. I ask because my partner will not believe any explanation I give. I am under extreme duress.
3. Could it be attributed to cache memory
4. When I was searching for my acquaintance, my comp kept freezing and I kept on clicking to try to revive it.

Sorry again for asking such a question to resolve a domestic row.

 

Sorry. The question is:

Can someone explain why, despite having removed the name of my acquaintance from my Skypes' 'Mood' section 5-6 days ago, my partner was still able, briefly, to see the name of my acquaintance under my Skype name? (I did check the Moods immediately my partners leveled the accusation. The 'mood' field was actually blank, but my partner insists that she briefly saw the offending name)

 

Probably cached from the previous time your partner had used the device. Changing something on your PC that's been set for days doesn't mean an instant change on all machines that have access to that data.
