In our application of FUD Forum, there are some links we do not need active for the user such as "Show Polls", "Profile", "Members", "Register", etc. We are actually disabling polls and we register our members for them. I have figured out how to delete the links for "Show Polls" and "Members" but have not yet discovered a good way to hide or delete the profile/register button. We would rather our users not have access to this but the admin still needs to have the option to register people and needs access to this link. How can we disable this link? It does not appear in the code when you try to edit the php file directly.
Lastly, if we would like to customize the FAQ page so that it pertains to specific questions & answers about our forum, how can we edit the contents of that page? Is it possible?

You can remove the register/profile link by modifying usercp.inc.t.
The modification of the FAQ can be done by modifying the files inside
i18n/[language]/help/

Ok...I have given that a try and it is not updating the FAQ section. Let me make certain I am editing the correct files:
/forum/thm/default/thm/i18n/english/help
Is that correct? I replaced the 'english' files with what I want to use and the old FAQ still appears. Am I missing something?

I have not rebuilt the theme yet. I have done that before and when I do it usually loses all of the modifications to the pages that I have made (t.e. removing links, etc). Is that the only way? Once I rebuild and go through all of the modifications I made, will I then have to rebuild each time I make a change to the FAQ?

If you are loosing info on theme rebuilt it means you modified the COMPILED files rather then the actual sources.

I am modifying the files located in the theme/default folder. Are these not the correct ones to modify? I did not realize there were two different files, compiled and source. Where can I then find the source files? Thanks again for the help.

Nope wrong folder.
You should be modifying the files inside the thm/default/tmpl and src/ directories.

Ahhh, I see. So now when I make changes to the source files rather than the compiled files and do a rebuild, I will not lose my changes, correct? Thanks so much!

That's correct if you modify the theme's sources, your changes will not be lost when you update the theme.

I have not developed a portal software based or simular to FUDforum, nor do I plan to do so in the near or far future.

Ok, I now know that I need to edit files in these two locations to remove links, etc. and as I do this and rebuild the theme, my changes will keep.
I've accessed these folders and have glanced at the files there. So far I'm still scratching my head as to what I need to edit and where. In the compiled files, I can open them with my text editor and clearly see where the "show polls" link is to delete it. This is one of the links I need to remove but can't seem to locate it in the source files. Can you help me out?
Also, I think I know the answer to this question but I'll ask anyway. If we have edited any graphics (ie buttons) and do not want them to be replaced during theme rebuild, do they need to go in the thm/default/images folder?

Use the grep utility to find what you want 
It depends on what graphics you are talking about, the buttons with captions (text on them) are inside thm/default/i18n/english/img/. The other graphics, such as background and so on are inside thm/default/images/.
