A: 

It depends what part of the page you would like to change, since the template is a set of many HTML files with preprocessing instructions. They are located in:

[PHPBB_Folder]/styles/[Theme_Name]/template

You can find the right html file by searching for a specific part of source code copied from the live page of the forum.

Important note: when you're changing phpBB template files, don't forget to reset the template cache in the forum admin panel (go to Admin / Styles tab - and clear cache for what you changed, Template, Theme, or Imageset.

I hope this helps.

That's correct, you need to change a lot of files if you need to make many changes - best is to do them one by one, checking the HTML source of the part that you want to change, and then searching for it in the HTMl files of the template.Important note: when you're changing phpBB template files, don't forget to reset the template cache in the forum admin panel (go to Admin / Styles tab - and clear cache for what you changed, Template, Theme, or Imageset (I also added this to the answer).
