I meant the top line of your css statements. padding 0px, 0 it's doing that first so the padding is reduced to 0. In the padding- left statement add !important. Like this>

padding-left: 70px !important;

!important makes your code priorty wise override other code.
Let me doing some experimenting on my forum and I'll get back to you in a bit.

I see what it is. The status icon are not of a consistant size. The taller ones are pushing the height of the row up and making a dead space between the thread title and the thread info.
The height of the area was designed around the height of the default icons. Try making all of your icons a consistant size around the size of the defaults. Or reduce the padding around the taller icons.
