How about making a favicon instead of running the default vbulletin one?

Internet Explorer does support favicons it's just a git to get them to show. I think if you remove it from your favourites and then add it again it will show.

Firefox just displays them instantly which is how it should work. I don't know why this has never been sorted in IE. Also firefox will support any image file not just the .ico that IE supports. You can have a nice animated .gif for firefox users and a .ico for IE users.

Use this code between the {HEAD} and {TITLE} tags replacing the {} with <>.

{LINK REL="SHORTCUT ICON" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.ico"} {LINK REL="icon" HREF="http://www.mydomain.com/favicon.gif" TYPE="image/gif"}

Here's one, rename it to favicon.ico and drop it in the root.
