For who want to replace the icon instead of a nearby icon:

Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/category_forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />

Replace:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><vb:else /><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /></vb:if>

The forum without private icon will still display status icon. Do the same for forumhome_forumbit_level1_post for your subforum.

If you have forums without post, do again for nopost template.

You can find on the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<h2 class="forumtitle" >

Then add before:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if>

It's better with small icon and you can controll with css by class, .forumicon controls status icon so if you want to place that position, you should change the class, add new class and edit its style.
