That goes in the <head> </head> section of each page you want the icon to appear with 
For most new messageboards you should be able to add bits to <head> content fairly painlessly, but if not you should find that there'll be a .php file called "header" or something that contains <head> content

If only it were so easy The meta tags for the message board go in overall_header but putting the favicon code there (like you would with a normal html page) doesn't work. I think I need to put the code where this stuff is:
<link rel="top" href="./index.php" title="Dream Message Board" />
<link rel="search" href="./search.php" title="Search" />
<link rel="help" href="./faq.php" title="FAQ" />
<link rel="author" href="./memberlist.php" title="Memberlist" />
but I can't find it, it shows up when you view page source from the message board but it isn't in the overall_header file like the meta tags are; where the above code is in view page source it says {NAV_LINKS} in overall_header.

That's odd. I'm afraid I don't know then - I'm not a PHPBB user myself.
Erm, one thing: In your original post one of you <link /> tags has rel="icon" and the other rel="shortcut icon". Is that right? Is one wrong? Are you using the wrong one?

Code:
<title>:: p g h [dot] o r g [dot] u k</title>
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
<meta name="author" content="Michael Brannigan / pgh." />
<meta name="description" content="Homepage" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico">My <head> atm. Doesnt work in both FB and IE. *scratches head*. Even without the link IE is still supposed to automatically check if there is a 'favicon.ico' in the root directory and use it if so. Doesnt work either. I know you can just link to an external javascript which can set it but shouldnt need to do this. Anyone got another way?
