I did it using the vb category hack - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=82750

I then created a new folder /images/fhicons/

instead of entering the full img src thing like he did in the box it creates when editting a forum, I just put like a 3 letter acronym. Like for my asheron's call 1 forums I put in that field

ac1

Then I made these icons

ac1_link.gif
ac1_new.gif
ac1_old.gif
ac1_new_lock.gif
ac1_old_lock.gif

and uploaded them to the new folder.

I did not do his forumhome_bit_level1_post edit

and instead of his forumhome_bit_level_2_post modification, I did this -

FIND

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

And REPLACE it with

<!-- ##### START HACK - Forum Type Icons ##### -->
<if condition="$forum[forumhomeicon]"> 
<img src="images/fhicons/$forum[forumhomeicon]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /> 
<else /> 
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
</if>
<!-- ##### END HACK - Forum Type Icons ##### -->
