My website is hosted on icyboards.net and currently my domain name there is dogesociety.icyboards.net I'd like to use my domain dogesociety.com which I purchased here, rather than just stealth forwarding. Here's what they say to do: 1) Your domain must have a CNAME record and point it to forums.icyboards.net. Open the domain you want to use in Namecheap. On the left menu, click "All Host Records". For the @ host name, enter "forums.icyboards.net". For the www host name, enter your domain name, prefixed with http://. The example below shows the correct configuration for the domain icypromotion.com. Click "Save Changes". Your domain will usually begin working within 10 minutes, but it could take up to 24 hours.

So how do I access the cname record here at dynadot? Thanks
Looks like you almost had it, but the www version of the site was not accounted for. I've added it in for you. Huge fan of Doge, btw. ;)
How do I create a CNAME?
A CNAME record is short-hand for Canonical Name record, which allows you to assign a domain or subdomain to another address or hostname. CNAME records should only be used if you can't use an A record.
NOTE: If you already have an A record within the Domain records section, please SKIP step 5!
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to the domain name(s) and select "DNS Settings" from the "Action" drop-down menu.
On the new page, select the "Dynadot DNS" option from the drop-down menu.
In the "Domain Record (optional)" section at the top, select "Forward" as the record type, choose forward type, and enter "https://www.yourdomainname.ext" as the "Target Host". (NOTE: This is optional and please replace the value based on your own domain name.)
Under the "Subdomain Record (optional)" field, enter "www" as the subdomain, select "CNAME" as the record type and enter the CNAME record given to you.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Save Settings" button to save your changes.
