Gots me a problem

[Shinobi]

Hey everyone, im trying to use an image above and below the users post, combined with a gradient border to give the look that the post is in a content box. Ive almost got it, but theres a problem with the spacing between the images and the content table. Heres a pic so u can see, i also included my postbit_legacy

Any help would be greatly appreciated

basically all i can think of is valign="top" and border="0" on the tables, i just cant figure out why theres space...and i cant position absolute anything because the stupid vbulletin wants to do dumb things when i try. And i couldnt put it all in the same table (i cant remember why, but there was a prob)

EDIT: My msn is: LeafShinobi@hotmail.com in case u wanna chat with me about anything i didnt explain thoroughly (i know, speaking isnt my strong suite)
