Setting it Up:
Now, in your FTP client, navigate to /public/style_images/Your_Skin
Create a new directory called "forum_images".
On your forum, open up the forum you want to apply the icon to.
Look at the URL. There will be a number, for example: forum.com/forum/2-announcements-and-updates/ You will be looking for "2" or whatever number is there (it changes per forum since every forum has a unique ID).
Get the image you want to set as a forum icon (NOTE: The image must be 32x32, no larger).
In your FTP client, navigate to /public/style_images/Your_Skin/forum_images.
Upload the image you want to set as a forum icon to this directory. In this case, we would need to name the file "2.png" because the forum ID is 2. The picture must be in PNG format and the name must be whatever number the forum ID is (number).
You're done. Refresh the page to see the icon. If the icon does not show up immediately, do a hard refresh or clear your cache. The instructions for this vary by what browser you're using.
If you have any questions, concerns, or need some help, please make a post in this topic.

i have tried the above code for mobile version but it doesn't work probably only made for the full version site
