Removing vBulletin logo removes <td> borders

[rgf207]

I am trying edit the header template to remove the vbulletin logo in the upper left corner. When I remove that table, it removes all <td> borders in my forum display so there are no lines between the different table cells. Is there a way to remove this logo without removing the table cell borders in the forum display

here is what the original table looks like

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="$stylevar[left]"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="$stylevar[titleimage]" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a></td>
    <td align="$stylevar[right]" id="header_right_cell">
        <if condition="$ad_location['ad_header_logo']">$ad_location[ad_header_logo]<else />&nbsp;</if>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

here is what the modified one looks like

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>

<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

I've included the image of my forums. You will notice there is no border for the table cells
