You can edit the source "src" of the image to something else that's on your forum and upload a new image.

Save this image and upload it.

Then edit the template with the skype link and add a link to the image.

The other thing to do is go to AdminCp > Settings > Options > Style & Language Settings > Use SkypeWeb Graphics

Check what the setting is. If it is set to "Yes", change it to "No" and reload your thread page.

From today on, everybody will have this problem because mystatus.skype.com has been shut down permanently.

I received this E-Mail from Skype Support two weeks go:

Update your old Skype buttons now

Hello

We'll soon be making some important changes to our old Skype buttons. These buttons allow customers to embed icons or buttons on their website that show their Skype presence status (for example, I'm online), by using an API.

After 15 May, 2015 all legacy Skype buttons that show your presence will no longer work. You can replace these old buttons with the new Call and Chat buttons.

What this means

If you are currently using any button apart from the Call or Chat ones, please update your button before 15 May, 2015. After this date these buttons will not show your online presence like I'm online or I'm offline.
Why are we making this change?
We've not supported the presence Skype buttons for over two years and over time, their accuracy has deteriorated. For example, someone's status is not always reflected accurately – especially when they are on a mobile device. We have updated the Call and Chat buttons to allow customers or colleagues to continue reach you at the click of a button.

For more information see our FAQ about Skype buttons.

Just uploading an image will not fix this because the online/offline Status will not be displayed correctly. Maybe it's better to erase these templates completely as long there is no official or unofficial solution.
