Trying to add ref=nofollow on some of the links that we feel might take some juice away if they're left as dofollow's. Problem: some of the HTML is plugged in using variable substitution, and I have no idea where the data is coming from.
For example, the footer link back to FUDforum is generated using <p class="SmallText">{MSG: powered-by}<br />{MSG: copyright}</p>
In the example, if (not saying when) I wanted to make the link back to this site a nofollow, I would need to know where to find the <a> element that is in the string that replaces the {MSG: copyright} in the resulting "compiled" string: <p class="SmallText">Powered by: FUDforum <?php echo $GLOBALS['FORUM_VERSION']; ?>.<br />Copyright ©2001-2011 <a href="http://fudforum.org/">FUDforum Bulletin Board Software</a></p>

Thanks, Frank. It all clicks now.
I was searching using Windows 7's search, and it wasn't set to search the contents of "no-extension" file "types" by default, which is why I was coming up empty. I should know better than to trust Microsoft to do the intelligent thing 
Note: for anyone looking at this for help - I miskeyed "rel=nofollow" as "ref" in the OP.

Quite a while ago - but still quite important
There is a lot about it on the web, but basically its easy:
One of Googles most important factors of sorting websites is the "power" of a website based on incoming links, more on quality (strength) than number.
So if you have link from Microsoft front page it gives a lot of power or "juice" to this page.
The power or juice is spread to the links on this page
So thats why people spam forums, to get as many links as possible.
But the more links there are, the more the power or juice is spread.
So a page with 100 links gives only 1/10 of power compared to a pages with 10 links
For the lots of spam Google introduced the "nofollow" tag, to
a) say the Google robot not to follow (although some people say it still follows)
b) not to include the link in weighting a website (although some people say it still gives power)
I´m just considering to add nofollow-tag just to keep spammers out
