What I would like is a "Hello [username]" greeting on the forum. Is there a way to add this?

Yes, where did you want it added?

I would like it in the breadcrumb, I think. Could you just give me the code and I can place it in the markup?

You can use {user_link} in your template to insert the current user's name, linked to their profile.

Thanks! Only, that token automatically inserts a <li> tag around the link. Is there a way to get it with just the <a> tag around the username?

Sure, try this: {user_link wrap=''}

That's 2 single quotes, not a double quote. :)
