Skype has the loading symbol in place of my status symbol?

On my desktop version of skype there's the little blue loading symbol by my picture instead of the green dot saying I'm online. I have the latest version of skype and a HP Pavilion (if that's any help). I have tried uninstalling and re installing skype three times, but it still had the loading symbol. Then on my mobile version of skype (most recent version of skype and I have an iPhone 5c) it just says I'm connecting. Is there something wrong with just my account or is skype acting weird fro everyone?

Skype is offline at the moment.

I'm on my uncle's desktop and earlier this morning
Skype on it was doing that and kept saying Skype home
is unavailable. I restarted the computer and it has worked
fine since.

Skype service were down since the past 15 hours due to an outage. It has been fixed now and it should work now.
