Im having the same problem but with the following.
Code:
<tr id="cat">
<td bgcolor="{categorybackcolor}" colspan="6"><a href="private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]" title="Click Here to Open Your Private Messages $inboxname"><normalfont color="{categoryfontcolor}"><b>Private Messages</normalfont></b></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="50" bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}" align="center" valign="top">
<img src="{imagesfolder}/$lightbulb.gif" alt=""></td>
<td width="453" bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" align="left" valign="top">
<smallfont>$welcometext <b>$newposts</b></smallfont>
$headpmsmessage= "You have $headpms[messages] new message(s)";
<smallfont>Members: $numbermembers , Threads: $totalthreads , Posts: $totalposts<br>
Welcome to our newest member, <a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$newuserid">$newusername</a>
</smallfont>
</td>
<td bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}" colspan="5"><smallfont>
Your current private message status.<br>
<a href="private.php?s="><b>$newpm[messages]</b> : New messages.</a><br>
<a href="private.php?s="><b>$unreadpm[messages]</b> : Unread messages<br></a>
</smallfont></td>
