<tr>
<td><table border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="0" bgcolor="#dedfdf" style="border: 5px outset #dedfdf; ; border-collapse:collapse" bordercolor="#ffffff">
<td width="100%" align="center" style="position: relative; float: left; border: 5px ridge #dedfdf; margin-left: 2; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding: 2"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">To post in our forums, or to see the members only forum, you need to </font><a href="http://www.qualityfishing.net/forum/newuser.php?Cat=">register</a><font color="#000000">,</font><font size="2" color="#000000"><i> it's free and only
takes a minute.</i></font></td>
