anyway, could'nt find a better way to fix this. in the product xml file I took off the <br /> from "$credits_navbar .= '<br /><a href="credits.php'" and reinstalled with overwrite and it's gone now. Now I am happy.
PHP Code:
{
$credits_navbar .= '<br /><a href="credits.php' . $session['sessionurl_q'] . '">' . $vbphrase['credits'] . '</a>: <b>' . vb_number_format($vbulletin->userinfo['credits'], $vbulletin->options['credits_decimals']) . '</b>';
}]]></phpcode>
</plugin>
