Can anyone offer me any advice on how to install a favicon to the webaddress of a forum? Where do I put the code, and where do I install the picture?

Just replce the default ./favicon.ico with your own.

Also be aware that browsers can be quite tempermental when it comes to favicon.ico - You may find it won't update straight away for you or your users. Sometimes you need to do a full refresh (Ctrl+F5). Sometimes I've found that I actually need to directly view the favicon.ico and reload it that way (so www.domain.com/favicon.ico) before the browser gets wise.

I don't have one; must have gotten rid of it a long time ago.

Can you be a bit more specific? Where would I find this, if it was there, and where should I store the image?

Thanks.

Just put it in your forum root (where your index.php is) under the name of favicon.ico

The Default vBulletin download comes with one if you need an example.

Do a google search for "how to add own favicon" or something similar. There are already tons of tutorials out there for this, this isn't a vBulletin specific thing.
