I believe the code in the faq is correct. in the cbb 3.08 template for the newbb_thread.html template is retrieved two different ways. by the file itself in the newbb/templates/newbb_thread.html file (some of the template files had it set up that way for some reason i dont really remember). so you will have to modify that file too.
if you already did that then, you will have to modify the template from the template admin in the xoops admin control panel. then clear the smarty cache.
if you need help with more specific instructions you can post your xoops version and someone should be able to guide you in the direction to make these changes.
