A few other things now that I've been using it more:
1. Since it's new, is there a way to put a hot key for the New Posts? Well, other stuff too, but that's what I use the most.
2. With the new layout, instead of columns for number of replies and number of views, those variables are labeled and stacked on top of each other. I'll just put in my vote that I prefer the original way (but I don't know if you can change it). It made it very easy for me to scan down the list and see if there were any topics with no responses, which sometimes helped me decide what to respond to - for example, a new member who hadn't been helped, yet.
