You should NEVER edit the default templates in the MasterStyle and include them in your product.

That's what I was thinking. I didn't think it was a good idea for editing Master Templates. I will check out your suggestions.

Can you offer some recommendation on how to correctly design a product that won't require modifications to the master templates?

I'm looking to display some information into the SHOWTHREAD template but would rather not force users to edit the templates?

I'm assuming I can do that with the hook system or am I incorrect?

Thanks for your help
