It does appear to be part of the image. Not of the blue tab, but of the light purple image beneath it.
It is there because there is an extra <table> somewhere in your code.
well, where do I suppose to look up for that extra <able>?

I can't tell what template that is that you took a screenshot of. I'm guessing that it's in your postbit. If that's the case, you need to review your code in that template.
Another option, although kinda messy with vB, is to validate your code with the W3C [link (http://validator.w3.org/)]. It's going to give you a lot of errors because of the vB specific code, but it can also help you ferret out where your missing table tag is.
noo..it is the current online members thing...that appears in the top of the homepage. In front of the categories. I have find out that it is the line that the category spacer mod put in the top of every category(space.gif). Is there a way to just delete the one of the top and leave the lines in the others categories.

You could try commenting the code out. In other words <!-- this is a comment -->
What do you mean by commenting the code?

======================
What Is A Comment Tag?
======================
A comment tag is a special tag in HTML. Anything between the brackets "hides" the code from the browser. Normally, this is used for adding comments to your code so you can tell other's what's going on in your code.
For example:
<!-- begin user stats -->
<table>
<tr>
<td>I am a user</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /begin user stats -->
You can easily tell that between the comment tags is the "user stats". The first tag tells you when it starts and the last tag tells you where it ends.
======================
How Can It Help Me?
======================
Ok, but that doesn't help you does it? Well, it can. Comment tags can span as many lines as you need. So, if you're having trouble with a particular section of code, you can try commenting out certain sections to try and locate where the problem is.
For example, let's say that I have a bunch of code that's giving me trouble, I could start a comment tag right before it and then end the comment after it and see if everything goes back to normal.
In other words:
<!--
a bunch of code here
-->
Anything between those two tags will be "commented out" and hidden from the browser.
======================
Use It Wisely
======================
Of course, you need to have some basic understanding of HTML in order for this to work. Just placing comment tags willy nilly can only create more problems if your not careful. This is especially true with tables. So just make sure that the code that you've commented will not affect the layout of the page and you should be ok.
======================
Another Alternative
======================
If you're unfamilar with basic HTML, I'd suggest that you post the URL to your board so that we can take a look at it and offer a solution. :)
