Yep got to clear the cache.
In these cases using the FireBug plugin with FireFox is the trick. That lets you click on an element and see the HTML, PHP, and CSS associated with the element. You can edit the above and see the change instantly without altering you original template. Once you get it to look like you want it then you can make the changes to the HTML, PHP, and CSS files locally then upload. I always save the originals by renaming them then upload the edited files. this way I can always go back to the originals if something goes haywire. Also it allows minimal downtime for the forum, once the cache is cleared the new files take affect. Editing can be done through the admin panel as I have done often but in that case you are editing the originals with no way to recover if you don't have backups. That's the reason I prefer to edit locally, rename the originals, and upload.
Thanks,
