Okay, the reason the black spot is there is because there is a third column. On the second row, the first column and second column are already filled, but the third (new) column isn't.

So, what you could do is move the 'edit' and 'quote' buttons over to that third column on the second row. To do that, do this:

find

<td><smallfont>$ onlinestatus
$ post[profile] $ post[pmlink] $post[useremail] $ post[homepage] $ post[search] $ post[buddy]
<!-- $ post[icqicon] --> <!-- $ post[aimicon] --> <!-- $ post[yahooicon] -->
</smallfont></td>
<td align="right" nowrap><smallfont>
<a href="editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit/Delete Message"></a>
<a href="newreply.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a>
</smallfont></td>


and replace it with:

<td><smallfont>$ onlinestatus
$ post[profile] $ post[pmlink] $ post[useremail] $ post[homepage] $ post[search] $ post[buddy]
<!-- $ post[icqicon] --> <!-- $ post[aimicon] --> <!-- $ post[yahooicon] -->
</smallfont></td>

then find:

</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

and replace it with:

</smallfont></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td><td bgcolor="$ post[backcolor]" width="175" height="16" nowrap><a href="editpost.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=editpost&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit/Delete Message"></a>
<a href="newreply.php?s=$ session[sessionhash]&action=newreply&postid=$post[postid]"><img src="images/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply w/Quote"></a></td>

Sorry if it looks a bit sloppy there, it's because I wrote it by hand...
Tell me if that gets rid of the black spot.
