Forumhome templates

I have run into a snag with my forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template. I installed the split categories hack and now it seems that each category is off form the other one. (I am still setting the board up so some areas are empty.) I need to know how to put it back like it should be and do what they did here on vbulletin.org with the lines up the side of the categories connecting them. Then they would stay in line. The URL (if you want to see what I mean) is:

My Sorry Site

Also, I have somehow managed to get a double line under the quote box, between it and the Currently active users box. I have tried to reverse everything but I end up with no innerlines in the categories at all. Can anyone lend a hand on straightening this out so I can get the board open and up and running? I know it must be something simple and easy that I overlooked. I'm not as good at tables as I'd like to be yet, but I'm working on it.

Firefly, you seem to be the one who knows this stuff better than most, can you lend a hand and maybe tell me what to take out or put in and where to put it? (be careful with that line...)

I don't know about the quote box, but here's how I separated the categories here.

I added this code:

<tr align="center">
  <td bgcolor="{forumhomebar}" colspan="7" align="left">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

In the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template, right at the top. Just edit the bgcolor="xxx" to fit your site.

I tried it but it messed it up even worse. Here is the code that is in the top of that file right now:

</table>
</td></tr></table><br>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" bgcolor="#0A293E"  width="95%" align="center"><tr><td>
<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0"  width="100%">

It has to do with the welcome box on top I think. As far as the quote box goes, I'm not sure what is going on there. But if you are willing to lend a hand to help straighten out any of this, I will give you access to whatever you need to help me. I've installed alot of hacks on my system since I started coming here and yours are the ones I look for first. I think I have them all, or very close to all (if I missed a few). Whatever help you can give will be immensly appreciated. (And, yes, I'll owe you at least one. )

Is there a way to make all of the categories the same width in each column as the other ones? If I could do that, then it wouldn't make a difference on the today and yesterday length I am using now as it would adjust all of the categories together if one changed. Basically, if one category's column widths changed because of a time length or date length difference, then they would all change to match that and it would look right again. I know this is confusing but there must be a way to do this, isn't there?
