<div align="right" width="80%"><{foreach item=btn from=$topic_post.thread_buttons}> <a href="<{$btn.link}>&post_id=<{$topic_post.post_id}>" title="<{$btn.name}>"> <{$btn.image}>a> <{/foreach}>div>

Delete redmarked code.
2. To the Borders
The Templates use only the classes from the theme style.css the newbb.css is only for the menu and signature.
So the outer class is the responsable class for the border, in the default theme it has this value:
.outer {border: 1px solid silver;}
Hope this will help you.
