W3C Validation - how important is it?

You have a number of unclosed tags in that code sample. I think you may need to take a bit of a step back and try to visualise the output you want.
Indentation may be a bit of a help - I've indented parts of your code - basically, as a guide, indent when you open a tag, and unindent when you close - so <table ...> will vertically align with </table>. Can you see the issue now?

HTML Code

<html>
<head>
<title>{$mybb->settings['bbname']} - {$foruminfo['name']} </title>
{$headerinclude}
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
	lang.no_new_posts = "{$lang->no_new_posts}";
	lang.click_mark_read = "{$lang->click_mark_read}";
// -->
</script>
</head>
<body>
{$header}
{$moderatedby}
{$rules}
{$subforums}
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" border="0" align="center">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top" width="18%">
      <table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder" style="clear: both;">
        <tr><td class="thead"><strong>Books</strong></td></tr>
        <tr><td class="trow1"><img src="http://www.leefish.nl/SiteImages/bookmarksite.jpg" alt="books" /></td></tr>
      </table>
      <td valign="top">
        {$threadslist}
        <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" border="0">
          <tr>
            <td align="left">{$usersbrowsing}</td>
            <td align="right">{$newthread}</td>
          </tr>
        </table>
        {$permission_box}
        {$footer}
</body>
</html>
