Still suffering with the Skype conference service

I know I keep mentioning this, but it is beginning to get really frustrating. I've had cause to use conferencing services through Skype a number of times over the last couple of weeks. As I've mentioned before, using conference services can be problematic.

I had two experiences, one good, one bad:

  • Good - I've found that in the Mac OS X client works much better if you use the keypad to dial the numbers - using the mouse just doesn't work (even if you can do it quickly enough for it to register).
  • Bad - dialing US conference services from the UK through Skype doesn't work when it coms to entering the conference number and/or pin number.
