i would create an outer table that controls alignment, width, cellspacing, etc and contain vb forums.... ehh, don't know if i put it in the right words.
Open header template,
On very top, add

<table width="YOUR-WIDTH" align="left">
<tr>
<td width="100%">

then in footer template, on the bottom, add:

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

that would do the trick.
