Thank you for the nice comments
The forums I am talking about are my own. I pay for them, I run them. it's not that hard. Working with the tpl files is a breeze. I just have to design the headers as I want them in Photoshop, slice and code as a normal html page. Cut the code I need and change some bits of code. Overall_header.tpl is the file I work on the most. And the hacks are so easy to install. There are great explanations in the readme files, so even I can install them
