You can just overwrite the image that is found in root directory of your vBulletin files and folders.

You should be able to locate the code in template: headincludes... You be able to get away in adding code to top of template: header, if you are not seeing it. You should do a hard refresh crtl+f5 and see if the image appears.

This is the code if you were not able to locate it.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

I can't find favicon.ico in the header or headinclude, what template is calling for favicon.ico i want to replace the code to point to an animated gif?

Just add it to the top of template: header and the very bottom on next line in headinclude template. You still need to overwrite the vBulletin logo with yours though...

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />

Thanks for the help. I got the answer on vb.org...

if you would like to display the animated favicon, upload animated_favicon1.gif as well and insert the following HTML tags on the top of your header OR headinclude

Code:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" >
<link rel="icon" href="animated_favicon1.gif" type="image/gif" >

If you would like to test the favicon after updating your web page, the Favicon Validator can check the favicon files and tags on your website.
