 www.Iconj.com or www.uploadingit.com are both good places to host ICO files. Favicons for Invisionfree sites do not show up on IE8 Beta but do work on Firefox 3 and IE7.

And for everyone asking where the code goes, go to your Admin CP, look on the sidebar and scroll down to Board Wrappers, then put the code in the JavaScript section.

 You can go to hostmyimagesite.com and host an .ico (icon) file. They will provide you with a direct URL (address) to the image.

Then you take that address, log into your AdminCP:

Skinning & Styles >> board wrapper >> Meta Tags:

add this: <link rel='shortcut icon' href='ADDRESS PROVIDED TO THE IMAGE GOES HERE' />

just be sure to replace the part ADDRESS PROVIDED TO THE IMAGE GOES HERE with the direct link to the image they provided.

NOTE:
According to the W3C, you can actually use any image as a favicon by using this:
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="http: // somesite.com/myicon.png" />
* if you use this method, be sure the parts in bold, the image extension, matches!

I personally do not like this method and highly recommend you use the first example I provided.
