simple image insert help??

[Sig]

I have made a slight modification to the index.template.php to insert a small gif in between the "Hello <user>" and the Time

Here is the default:

// display user name
   echo '
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
         <tr>';

   if($context['user']['is_logged'])
      echo '
            <td class="titlebg2" height="32">
               <span style="font-size: 130%;"> ', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <b>', $context['user']['name'] , '</b></span>
            </td>';

   // display the time
   echo '
            <td class="titlebg2" height="32" align="right">
               <span class="smalltext">' , $context['current_time'], '</span>';


Here is mine with the change highlight:

   // display user name
   echo '
      <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" >
         <tr>';

   if($context['user']['is_logged'])
      echo '
            <td class="titlebg2" height="32">
               <span style="font-size: 130%;"> ', $txt['hello_member_ndt'], ' <b>', $context['user']['name'] , '</b></span>
            </td>';

   //BUC section
      echo '
            <td align="center" class="titlebg2">
            <a href="http://www.buttuglycustoms.com"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/buc.gif" style="margin: 2px;" alt="http://www.buttuglycustoms.com" /></a>

            </td>';
   // display the time
   echo '
            <td class="titlebg2" height="32" align="right">
               <span class="smalltext">' , $context['current_time'], '</span>';


Now, here is the issue........when that image in inserted the box below that......to the right of the avatar and time logged in...has a large white box in it. I can't figure out why. I've posted a screenshot with it circled:



Thanks in advance for the help.
