Help with postbit mod - need HTML expert

[imported_DigitalJE5U5]

can anyone tell me how to get rid of this space under avatar and add a lil space above the avatar?

Please see attached pic.


I've attached pertinent code (me thinks)

--------------------------------------------
<!-- start postbit user table -->
<div align="left">
<table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="{firstaltcolor}">
<tr><td width="100%" height="12" bgcolor="{secondaltcolor}">$post[avatar]<p align="left"><a name="post$post[postid]"></a><font face="Verdana" size="2" color="{linkcolor}">
$post[firstnewinsert]<a href="member.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=getinfo&userid=$post[userid]" target="_blank">$post[username]</a>$post[search]<br>
</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
--------------------------------------------

Thanks ALOT!
