Note: This can affect you if you have an older version of Skype if automatic updates are turned on. Be sure to see the instructions below to turn off the updates!

Issue:
Apparently, all of the 6.x releases of Skype are broken at the moment. Occasionally IMs will come in completely out of order.

For instance, I just had a conversation that went like this:
11:24 AM Them: Reply
11:37 AM Me: Question

Not only did it show up before my message, but it showed up back in time!

Resolution:
Apparently the fix is to revert to version 5.10.0.116, available here:
http://download.skype.com/msi/Skype.....5.10.0.116.msi

You have to uninstall Skype 6.x before you install 5.10.0.116, since it won't automatically install over a newer version, but your settings and logs will still be there!

Disabling Skype Updates:
Also, make sure to turn off automatic updates!
Tools > Options
Advanced > Automatic Updates
Click "Turn off automatic updates"
If it says "Turn on automatic updates," everything is good to go!
