IS it possible to get rid of this whole thing?

My bad. Didnt know you had that. Just change the header again:

<!-- logo -->
<a name="top"></a>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top"><img src="http://www.somtour.net/forums/images/styles/silverwhite/misc/logo.jpg" border="0" alt=""/></td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /logo -->

<!-- content table -->
$spacer_open

$_phpinclude_output

$ad_location[ad_header_end]

For your reference, and knowledge. I made the image source, a direct link to the image.
