How do get rid of this space?

[PGAmerica]

I have modified my style a bit on my site.

You can see the new style by going to http://www.christianfunforums.com/forums/index.php?styleid=34

However, look at the image I attached to this post. There is a noticable space between the bottom of my category image and the top of the forum listing.

In order to get the listing to look like it does, all I had to do was modify my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template.

The template currently looks like this

</table>

<br />

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="background:url(/path/to/my/image/cat_$forumid.jpg) no-repeat;" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">5<else />4</if>" height="50">
<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="/path/to/my/image/clear.gif" width="100%" height="50" border="0"></a>
</td>
<td align="center">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>
<tr align="center">
<td class="thead" width="5%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="thead" width="50%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
<td class="thead" width="25%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
<td class="thead" width="10%">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
<td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
</if>
</tr>

</tbody>
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}">
$childforumbits
</tbody>
</if>

Can anybody please tell me what I need to do to get rid of the space? I can guarantee that the space is not part of the category image.

erm.. did you try removing <br />

from the top of template
</table>
<br />

I appreciate the quick reply. That <br /> puts a space above my image. I need to remove the space below my image.

Ideas?

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img src="/path/to/my/image/clear.gif" width="100%" height="50" border="0"></a>
</td>
<td align="center" style="padding-bottom:0;">
<if condition="$childforumbits">
<a href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
</if>
</td>
</tr>

Try adding that bit in green I've highlighted.

Thank you for the response. Unfortunately, that did not kill the extra space. Any other ideas?
