You may want to read up a bit before adding any hacks, etc., and start off with some simple ones (look in the minor mods section)

First, the modification has this:

PHP Code:

Add the following phrase "thread_displayproxyip" ; 


How do I go about doing that?

In the admin CP -> languages & phrases -> Phrase Manager -> Add New Phrase

PHP Code:

Replace the template "postbit_ip"; 


Do I do that by editing a file or making changes in the admin cp?

all template changes are done via the style manager in the admin CP

Finally, is it permissible to create a second "test" board that only I have access to so I can test mods before making them live? It's not your competence in creating the mods that concerns me, only my own ability to impliment them.

yes, you can have one, but it must be not available to the public (ie: closed) and it must be named "vbtest," and located on the same server, etc..
