To revive this thread, I want to point out that this is all well and good for people who have the time to follow all the tags, eventually landing at the spot where you want to add a class to a forum header. Not everyone can do this. I have mentioned before (many months ago) that <!-- --> tags in the code would be nice to show in the source view where you will want to go in the template system to edit that particular element. Unless there is something so obvious that I am overlooking, I don't see any easy way to look at the rendered source, find what you want to add, and then go right to that template element without first knowing the entire layout of the template structure.
For people who aren't as technically adept, the templating system feels very restrictive, almost as if the author wishes everyone to use the default (I know that is not true). I have seen posts where people have asked for an official or unofficial theme repository for FUD. I am sure they love fudforum as much as myself and would be very happy with either a repository or a mechanism as simple as html commenting to aid the user in modifying their templates.
An example case: http://fudforum.org/forum/index.php?t=msg&th=7633&start=0&
Lastly, just so that you know, I also appreciate this post. Thank you very much. Now I just need to apply this and take the time to parse the tags to find the place where I want to add a class.
