It goes in you headincludes template, usually after you meta statements. I am guess though that you misunderstood the original instruction. The favicon needs to be in your webroot folder not the forum root. Whatever the folder is that your domain points to, like vBTEAM Underground - Free vBulletin Hacks, Skins and Support. com/ and not vBTEAM Underground - Free vBulletin Hacks, Skins and Support. com/forums/

put it after this statement:

<meta name="description" content="<if condition="$pagenumber>1">
