I was editing some info and I just confused myself. When I want to make a change, for instance adding the thanks stats in topic view, do I just need to copy the template-topicviewdesktop.php-and add it to the child folder, then add any code changes reboot-child.css in the theme editor? Or do I have to make the change to the template itself?

Hey Alex,
If you want to make a CSS change then you need to add it to your child themes stylesheet i.e reboot-child.css.
If you want to make a change to a function like adding arguments, adding functions or PHP to a section of the forum that change will need to be made to a template, so you would need to copy the entire desktop or mobile template into your child themes relevant desktop / mobile folder and make the change directly to it.
Hope that helps!

OK...I just confused myself there for a second. I already have all this changed in template, but while I was adding some basic change, making some round corners, I confused myself. Though, if you guys make a core change to that template, won't my copy override that since it's using an older version?

No problem, easily done!
That's right your copy will override whatever core change we put in place, which is why it's important to keep up with the latest news and developments forum where we put out CSS and template updates information so if you do run a custom or child theme you can keep up to date and implement the changes manually.
Although child themes are much easier to work with than full custom themes, they still require that maintenance.
