Skype help! skype is not working...?

OK SO heres what happened: I have been using Skype for years. gone great i love it for the most prat some dropped calls but its fine. I use the free version I have no money in it. Yet I changed my password last night :) stayed online through morning. Went to make breakfast. came back... and it was not connected anymore. where it usually says online it was gray. so I signed off. I closed it. i was going to attempt to sign back in. Let it be known I use Windows vista and I have skype 5.0. Now skype came up fine I typed in my NEW password. it moved in a circle saying it was connecting.... then usually one or twice around connects and makes the zzooom noise to tell me Im online. it stayed trying to connect for... 5 mins? then said it couldn't. and I don't know why. I've looked all over the internet. some people say change the port so its 80 for all incoming something or others. I looked where they said. it was already there. some people say uninstall and reinstall i did. same deal. some people say firewalls. well I looked at my firewalls and I made sure the box letting Skype get through WAS checked. and it was. I am going from a home lap top with no business or university connection I don't think any proxy's does anyone have anymore advice? :( I really want my skype back. thanks :)

1. Skype is down for everyone currently, they have some issues but are working on it. Its not your laptop.
2. It's currently not working for any users at the moment. Something must be wrong with the server or something, I'm sure it will be back later on once they fix it.
