In forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost find:

	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="100%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	  <td class="thead">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>

And replace it with:

	<tr align="center">
	  <td class="thead" width="41">&nbsp;</td>
	  <td class="thead" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="175">$vbphrase[last_post]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[threads]</td>
	  <td class="thead" width="60">$vbphrase[posts]</td>
	  <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	  <td class="thead" width="125">$vbphrase[moderator]</td>
	  </if>
	</tr>

You might need to alter the individual widths to suit your forum, but for the most part this should fix the spacing problem. Please keep in mind though that if you have a thread title that is really long (Like a URL) it will still throw the alignment out of wack and that is unavoidable.
