Q: Why is my Skype button showing Offline even when I am online?

A: First, you have to change an option in your Skype client settings to make your online status publicly visible:

1. Open your Skype client and go to 'Options > Privacy' or 'Advanced' (depending on your client version).

2. Find the option 'Allow my status to be shown on the web' and place a checkmark beside it.

3. Close the Options window and change your Skype status to Offline and back Online again to update the Skype server.

If your online status is still incorrect, type in your webbrowser http://mystatus.skype.com/yourskypename and check what is shown there. The plugin takes your status directly from the Skype server and should correspond with your status shown on the above URL (using your skype name obviously). If your status is not correct on that URL, it basically is out of your hands. You can wait for the Skype server to get 'up to date' or browse the Skype forums for fixes suggested by others...
