How to fix the Wrong Date and Time Issues on Skype

--My Skype and PC's date and time are properly set to the current, however, every time I send and receive messages to someone on Skype, it shows a different timestamp. My Skype is showing all conversations as well as the call logs with a wrong date and time. I also noticed that the Skype's time of the person I'm calling is different too. It got me frustrated trying to figure out what went wrong? and how to fix it. Specially I use my Skype everyday, and having the correct date and time displayed on all of my call logs and conversations is very important.

--The first thing that came in my mind was to update my Skype to the latest version. So I uninstall Skype then I redownload and reinstall it on my Windows 7 computer. I tested my newly installed Skype, I called and exchanged messages with some Friends.-The newly installed Skype is working fine but the issue with the Wrong date and time display wasn't fixed.
