Skype Quick Tip: Disable "Mood Messages"

Posted June 12th, 2010 in Quick Tips

So I just installed Skype a couple of days ago on my new Mac Mini and I keep getting these notifications that I have a message only they aren't really messages, just some stupid "Mood Message" things. I hadn't ever seen these before on Windows so I guess it's some sort of "feature" in the newer version of Skype (or perhaps Skype are trying to piss off Mac users).

How to disable mood messages on Skype

Check out this post on Isaac Keyet's blog titled "Disabling 'Mood Messages' in Skype" for the solution. I found that the "Do not notify me" option was already selected, but needed to check the "Mark unread messages..." option. Go read his post for full details for the solution.
