      Are you talking about the favicon that shows on your browser?
      If so, replace favicon.ico in your forums root directory with one of your own.

        You would need to upload the new icons to your site and then add some CSS to the css_additional.css template like:

        HTML Code:
        .forum-list-container .forum-item .cell-forum .icon {
            background: url("http://www.yoursite.org/images/image-old.png") no-repeat; 
        }
        .forum-list-container .forum-item.new .cell-forum .icon {
          background: url("http://www.yoursite.org/images/image-new.png") no-repeat; 
        }
        Adjust image names, height, width, etc as needed.

        If I post CSS and you don't know where it goes, throw it into the additional.css template.

          Is that the answer for the first post?

          Do we perform uploading here: Admin CP - Post icons - Upload post icons ?

          Where to edit the HTML Code?

          Thanks!

            I hope You mean here the icon which the browser saves when bookmarking.

              That's correct. I couldn't see the image he posted above on my phone. I see it now and see that he's referring to something else.

                My answer was to the original question which was not regarding the favicon but the little images in front of the forum names. They are not post icons, so they don't get uploaded that way. You would use an ftp client to upload them to where you want, verify the URL via your browser (you need to make sure they are really where you think they are) and then add that code to the css_additional.css template. You may have to adjust width and height, as I already said, if you use something larger than what is currently there.

                    It is a template. You find templates in admincp > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > find your style > Edit Templates. That particular one is under the CSS Templates group. You would double-click to open it.
