How can I form a table?

[Xplorer4x4]

GENIUS Thank you sooooo much, but I still have 2 questions.

On the default skins it makes a purpleish box around the banner. Can I remove that?

Secondly, is there anyways to get the extra space out between the nav bars and the banner?

Lastley you used this varible to create the table:

PHP Code:

 <tr align="center">
 <td colspan="8">
 <a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]"><img src="http://www.xtremepain.net/banners/index.php" border="0" alt="$vboptions[bbtitle]" /></a>
 </td>
 </tr>
<!-- / top nav buttons bar --> 


By using that as a tempalte can this be used to create another table belwo the courrent events table to place my google adds in?

Thank you again for your help.
