Looking at http://www.palmvenue.com/Forum/, I noticed that they used some kind of additional table (therefore cell border) underlaying the usual forum table to add the outer grey border, and as such add some sort of 3D effect to their forum.

As I can't find a closed <table></table> in the Snitz base code, could anyone help with pointing out where this additional <table> should be opened and closed? Which elements to add? Which files to modify?

Thanx for your help!

You would add an extra table by opening it in inc_header.asp and closing it in inc_footer.asp. Have a look for where the body starts in inc_header.asp.

it seems more complicated to me, as strangely enough, they have included additional underlaying rows, and seem to have split up the original table in subtables per row, as inbetween each forum, there's a grey separator line as well.

It really isn't that difficult. Exactly what Proeder said should do the trick. I've done it on www.snowmobilefanatics.com

Exactly, on your site the addition of the table creates one outside black border around the whole forum, no additional cell borders. On Palmvenue however, inbetween each forum category, there's that same grey line as on the outside, added to the usual cell borders on both sites in white.

So I was assuming palmvenue closed the top table per category, and reopened to publish the next category in the next underlaying row, which of course complicates matters.

It doesn't really complicate the matter, it's just more work...
If you have a look at their source code you'll find out they use stylesheets for their tables. That's it.

Anyways - they've done a great job and it really is a lot of work to get such a result.
