It's the CSS table properties that I'm now having problems with.

If I don't include <td class="alt1"> then the background for that section is white instead of taking on the colour properties of the rest of my skin. The other problem I have is that there's now a full line break in between each of the table rows. Take a look at the attachment to see what I mean.

My 'alt1' has a border around it so I guess I need to define a new 'altX' which has no border. I've created 'alt9' by adding the following line to the 'additional CSS definitions section of my forum skin:
.alt9 { background-color: #F1F1F1; color: #000000; }

My 'alt1' has boders - I assume because of:
border-left: 1px solid #dddbdb;
border-top: 1px solid #dddbdb;

My 'alt9' seems to be producing a border - I'm not sure where it's getting this from.

The 'user's favourite things' section has had tables applied yet - you can see how each line runs on one from the other without any line breaks... that's how I'd like the first section (that I'm applying tables to) to look.
