Alright, ignore my last post, i was obviously confused by the instructions in that thread.
What you need to do is go to your Admin CP -> Forum Manager, click on the forum that you would like to add your own category icons to, and beside the "Prefix for Forum Status Images" you enter the filenames to the category icons you want to use, and make sure you have more than one category icon, to show when new posts have been made, if the forum is locked, etc... if you're lazy and just want to use 1 static icon that never changes than just copy the image four more times and add the other filenames to it.
vbulletin gives these instructions in case i'm not clear:
"Prefix for Forum Status Images
Forum Status images are usually shown alongside the forum in a forum listings to indicate the read status.
This prefix must only contain alphanumerical characters, though the following are also allowed - _ / ., a folder name is also acceptable to be placed within the status icon directory.
The following images are currently in use for status icons, you will need to create images with the specified prefix to match.
