This has been ******* me off for a while now. If you haven't dabbled with vb3 beta 4 then there is a template called SHOWTHREAD which has a table. But wait, it's no ordinary table, it's a table from HELL!!! The background "color" (I say that because the color replacement can be an image) of the enitre table is the table border color, which includes a top column (yes, the same table border color) containing the thread name, the actual thread (all the posts) and then a weird column of more table border goodness. Ok, I learned to deal with the top column, and I learned to deal with using alternatives to black for my table border color. But why on God's green earth is there a cell about 7 pixels high under the postbit_buttons column. Now, this is very frustrating to me, because I've looked, and looked, and I found where the posts are included, but I can't find that bottom column. It really messes up my design. I've come to 2 conclusions:

It's in POSTBIT and I missed it at the bottom (it now occurs it could be a break somewhere)

or

It's an annoying little <tr> in SHOWTHREAD that doesn't want to be found.

If you have any clue as to where this "thing" is in, template-wise, please post it here. Pic included.

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



bolded is your ending the the table below it.

take out that line break and your space goes away :)
