how to change forum icon?

[Joe D.]

Unfortunately due to sprites this isn't easy in VB5 anymore.

The "easiest" option would be to edit the image: images/css/sprite_icons_vb.png

You need a good image editor like Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint Shop Pro, it will keep the background transparency

And you would have to paste a new image into place of the old image, it needs to take up the exact same dimensions and be in the exact same place.

It's very complicated

there will be sprite editor that I saw in JIRA Tracker. Hopefully it is user friendly

Is the "forum icon" the icon on the top of the browsers window which the forum is launched in & saved when the page is saved as a bookmark?

[sukagwe]

I already get the answer from Joe D

No, the icon saved when bookmarked is called the favicon and can be changed the same as in VB4, upload a new one either over the old one or by setting the stylevar in stylevariable editor.

A small additional note, some browsers/OS's will hold onto a favicon FOREVER and not give it up. Its really weird quirk with browsers/OS. I've literally had a favicon for a site (that didn't even have one) held in cache for 2 years in two different browsers.
