some updates: i made a backup of my contacts just in case and deleted all contacts.. and deleted Skype account and remade the account all contacts came back now again without avatars at all (even the small amount that updated due to contacts changing their avays) later i restored backup and i got back that small amount of avatars to their place alongside those contacts but i noticed something else... I exported the backup folder i created to my pc and using total commander i browsed through just to find that all the avatars are backed up for all the contacts i got on skype even 3-4 for each (different avays they use over time) so it is there just not on the contacts themselves

is there anyone who understands in these things?
