Something helpful to use when learning about templates is to turn on Admin CP > vBulletin Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments This will put the name of the templates into your source code. It is NOT suggested to leave it on on your main site. When I need it on, I turn it on, go to the page I need to find a template name for, bring up the source code to verify the templates are written in it, then I turn the option back off.

Sorry, I shouldn't have come across so strongly on that. I'm always thinking about bandwidth on my site. It says this by the option "This is useful for debugging and analyzing the HTML code, but turn it off to save bandwidth when running in a production environment."
