<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> 
<thead> 
    <if condition="$show['guest']"> 
    <!-- guest welcome message --> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="tcat" colspan="6"><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[welcome_to_the_x]</phrase></td> 
    </tr> 
    <tr> 
        <td class="alt1" colspan="6"> 
            <phrase 1="faq.php?$session[sessionurl]" 2="register.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[first_visit_message]</phrase> 
        </td> 
    </tr> 
    <tr style="color:#CCCCFF;"> 
        <td>&nbsp;</td>
    </tr>
    <!-- / guest welcome message -->
