Skype on Thursday was scrambling to fix a problem that caused the globally popular Internet telephone service to be inaccessible for a "small number" of users.
"A small number of you may have had problems signing in to Skype," Skype engineer Peter Parkes said in an update at the Luxembourg-based firm's blog
"This predominantly affects people using Skype for Windows," he continued. We have identified the problem and will issue a fix in the next few hours."
Skype spokesman Chaim Haas said that while some users had trouble signing in, the service never went out and its computers didn't crash.
"Engineers have been hard at work all day and a formal fix will be pushed out shortly," Haas said of the situation.
