Appreciate the help there. I actually have no problem with the CSS. I've just overridden any styles I needed to change in my main template CSS file. I wanted to make changes to the default.php file in order to include a module position inside the user list. Would I just copy the default.php file from the default template into the example template folder and alter that?
Actually, I just tried it myself and it doesn't seem to make a difference when I make changes to the default.php file that I copied over.
Back to my original question... I'm guessing it's not safe to make changes to default.php file inside the default template folder?
No, you can't just copy default.php over. First the filename it self needs to be changed. For example if your template is the example template it'd become example.php. Next inside of the PHP file the classes have the template name in them for example "CBProfileView_html_default", which would become "CBProfileView_html_example".
I highly highly suggest leaving the PHP file alone. Anytime we make fixes to it you will not have those fixes and will likely be posting why XYZ doesn't work or why you're missing ABC feature and chances will be high it's because your template PHP file does not have the changes. For example next CB release is making some fixes to the template PHP file. If you supplied your own you would not have these fixes.

That's probably also the explanation to why the custom template I created didn't work.
I'll probably take your advice for now and not touch the php file. If I really need to add code to it, I'll just put it in an include and leave a note for myself to re-add the include statement when I update CB.
Depending on what you're changing you could do an include of the default template then extend the default template PHP classes. No idea how well that'd work, but could minimize how much code you have to replace. So for example if you only want to change 1 of the functions out of all the classes then an extend would be the best approach so it's only possible for that single function to go out of date. Then on upgrade it's just a matter of comparing the two functions.
