Oh now I see; what both Rebecca and Nick were not saying is *where* they expected to see "skip occurrence" so they did not mean in the Task menu or right-click menu which was the only place I could find it recently.
You meant a 'link' in "TIming & Reminder" properties, directly above Start and Due dates but I had not seen that recently because I was testing Daily recurrence (for simpler testing). Sure it's more convenient to have a quick skip there just like other tasks have a 'today', 'tomorrow' for automatically selecting smart dates. Yeah I agree it makes no sense for only Daily recurrence it should not show there for all recurrence because Weekly can have the exact same problem: Their idea I suspect is to at least change it for Daily because easier getting too far behind and that link was only meant to skip one occurrence. Being 10 days late would require too many skips, so might as well just jump to new occurrence due date (click Edit in recurrence). Better I think: Just use the Task menu or right-click menu which always has "Skip occurrence..." and will ask whether to skip only current, or skip all occurrences up to today. It is simpler than having to navigate to options then dialogs then open calendar then find today's date.
