What is the image path being shown currently in your page source? Are you getting any status icon to show at all for that forum?

Okay i just added all of those , and the source is http://ball2live.com/images/statusicon/forum_old.gif and yes its showing .

But this isn't working: http://ball2live.com/ogenzen/statusi..._forum_old.gif

I get an error when trying to get to that image (a Connection Interrupted error which is kinda weird).

Notice that it is going to ogenzen/statusicon - that is the folder you need to put the statusicons into. And did you check those templates to see if $forum[imageprefix] is in them. This won't work if that variable is not in the template.

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost
forumhome_forumbit_columncell
These templates dont have it so where do i put it ?

The line is up in post 8. You should be able to select any of those templates and hit View History and Compare and it should show you which lines to modify. But, if not, as I said, refer to post 8.

Im very slow when it comes to template editing so here is my template for post1 and post2 is the 2nd one

The line is there in the template you just posted. However, looking over your site and going to the Default Style in the chooser, that is definitely not the template that is spitting out your forums. You've got some modification that is doing it. You need to find the template for that modification and add the imageprefix variable into it.

The prefix is in the template you posted, so it is fine. But, as I said, that template isn't used where you have applied the prefix. The prefix is obviously not in the modification you have installed that spits out the forums in that manner. I really can't help you with the modification - you'll have to post in the modification thread for that. I really have no idea which of those mods does that, but if I were to guess, it would be either the sub-forum manager or arrange in columns mod.
