Hmm. I'm running osx mavericks and the latest version of skype. I have my skype credit to auto fill when it reaches x amount for a ballence. I really hope I will not get bumbarded by these adds. I have bveen out of the computer skype for a while now and now is not the time for me to start getting bumbarded with these adds as I will have to maybe start using my skype for training purposes and I want not to spend time loosing focus. Just my thoughts.
