You don't need to add any code to the headinclude. If you have the favicon.ico in the forum root, it will show up. You may have to clear your cache first.

AFAIK showing a favicon is not a function of vBulletin, but a funtion of your webserver.

That was posted as a bug quite a while ago. They will get to it when they get to it. I don't understand what that has to do with the favicon, however.

you might try adding it here
http://websitesmasters.com/favicon.ico
I see it in your forum folder

and marco is right, the favicon doesn't have anything to do with vBulletin, you can have a favicon with a blank html page

I viewed your source and there was nothing mentioning favicon.

Put this in your headinclude
