We recently installed v2.5.2 of FUDForum and successfully
edited all templates to suit our needs. I was in the process
of adding users and noticed in the User Manager the "anonymous"
user listed. I assume this user was created upon installation
of the script. In any event, I did not see any reason for this anonymous user to be there so I deleted them. Tried to then access the home link and got the following fatal error:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required <our forum path here>/theme//index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in <our forum path here>/index.php on line 1092
Any ideas why I got this and how I might be able to recover from it so I don't have to do a full re-install? Did deleting
the anonymous user cause it to break?

Sounds like it, you technically should not be able to delete the anonymous user. The 'fix' is to run the upgrade script, it should re-create the missing user entry.

making this change so not all was lost. Lesson learned: do not delete the anonymous user in the user manager.

Was the group you deleted the anon user from automatically created when you created a forum, or did you create that group manually?

This was not a group I deleted. Rather it was the "Anonymous" user listed in the user manager of the forum. E-mail address for
this user is dev@null. This is our first time installing the latest version of the forum and I did not recognize this user so I figured it could be deleted. Once I did, that is what caused the "fatal error".
