The skype status would be shown under the mojo guage (where the yahoo and AIM icons show). Unlike yahoo and AIM, vbulletin's got integrated functionality that will not just give you a link to the person's screen name, but also show whether they are online or not. I'm betting the error was on skype's end where the server that vbulletin gets that info from wasn't responding.
