(not sure which 'prefix' to use here)
I hadn't seen this anywhere when I did a search, so here goes...:

Add a unique Shortcut Icon (related to your forum content) in the browser address bar in front of the 'http://...." CNN has it, NOAA has it,IMDB has it.... lots of folks have it... why not YOUR forum!

just add this code below/after the </title> tag in the templates (ie FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, GENERIC SHELL, search_forums, search_results....etc)
Code:
<link rel="SHORTCUT ICON" href="http://*****.***/*****/imagename.gif" />
just insert the path (in red above) to the image you want to use.

examples below:

Not really sure DM, I hadn't found it in my searches there or here. It works in Mozilla for my forum... replaced the 'standard' one that mozilla sticks up there with the image I chose to use....

the attachments below shcut-ex1 and shcut-ex2 show the 'standard' one mozilla sticks in there, shcut-ex3 show the one i use for my website and forum.

A Favicon is considered a hack? You don't even need to make the changes listed here if you REPLACE THE EXISTING FAVICON FILE IN YOUR FORUM ROOT.

This is practically a web standard, do a search for "favicon". You definately do not need to modify a template to get this to work!
