Dear Doug, there is something confusing in Skype 4. They implemented two features which are very similar. One is called categories and one is called groups. I didn't find anything explaining the difference between these two things in Skype help. Nevertheless, in both cases you have to create a group or a category before you can use one of them. In a contacts context menu, there is an ad to category button you can click on if at least one category exists, and also a remove from category button which is of course greyed out if your contact is not already in one category. Groups are found in the contact menu but you have to create a group first. I don't remember at this moment how to drag contacts into a group, I'll have to check that later. But most of all, I just don't understand why these two things were not melt into one. Cheers, JPR http://myspace.com/jeanphilipperykiel

I'm not sure how you're getting contact categories or groups to show up in your contact list. I see options under a Categories submenu of the Contacts menu that allow you to change which category is shown, but I see no option for putting all of the categories into the contact list at once. I have "Show all categories" checked, and I normally hide contacts that are offline and offline with call forwarding, and I have contacts sorted by status. If you could tell me how to enable the whole set of categories at once, or perhaps explain what I'm trying to do wrong, that would be helpful.
