Initial feedback. I'd say new posts blend into the forums very easily, they seem to be pretty difficult to notice from everything else. I'm not sure what'd make it better to display new posts, but something more on the face method would be ideal. Took me couple days to even notice some of the posts were new for example x)

Point. I got no ideas right now, though. Its flagging everything ever as unread.

One alternative is to have one page that shows all the latest posts, similar to what the Tapatalk did with "Discussions" then it'll be easy to keep tabs of what posts are latest addons.
Other is to have the forum be highlighted by border in the forum index screen. That way you get a quick view of which forums have new posts.
I have toggled posts as read so I do only see the new posts as unread, but it only gives that small eye icon for it that's pretty easy to pass by.

Private messages, that might be something we could need. I can't seem to find any PM box at least.

PM box is under My Profile -> Private Messages.
Also, forums/topics with new posts are now highlighted. More obvious now?

Would it be possible to have on the front page a link directing to the most recent active forum threads?
A way to mark all threads as read would also be cool!
