I really really hate this. I dont know why, I know its trivial but it drives me nuts. Its the border thickness between posts. See attachment.

Anyone know if its possible and how exactly I would go about reducing it?

The problem here is that there are two tables next to each other, so you have twice the line between posts. Theres no real way around this, other then seperating the tables, or removing the table borders.

weird. UBB never did this, and before vB I used XMB which doesnt do it either. Hmm. No biggie then.

If you put them all in one table, it won't happen. But then this post, which stretches out only my post's table, would stretch out everyone else's table cells as well.

Well, I don't work for vbulletin, but I have a feeling that the reason they split it up so that each post is its own table is because it will display faster. A table isn't displayed until the browser knows how big it is. So if all posts were in one big table, you'd have to download most of the page before any posts display. But because they split the posts up into separate tables, each post can display as soon as it is loaded, so you can start reading before the entire page is loaded.

I think you can change the border using styles. Try adding style="border-bottom:0pt" to the innertableextra. That may work. If it does work in IE, however, it will not work in NS.
