I like how the number of new topics and threads is back, but I think it's much more readable the way it was before with the number in parentheses underneath the total number of posts, e.g.:

123456
(2 new)

And I still don't like the yellow icons in the "Last Post" column of the main index. They're fine on the forum pages themselves, but I think they're ugly, distracting, and useless on the main page. Removing them would also leave room to print more of the last post's title, which gets truncated really bad.
