If you place your mouse over the Topic and Forum icons, it will also tell you the number of unread posts in the topic or forum. This will decrement as you read the posts.
The star symbol shows if there are new posts in a Forum or Topic.

Looks good Bruce. I like the drop down menus like over a user's ID on the left. Not sure about the Reply Options one though, seems like a needless duplication of the Quote and Reply buttons?
I also noticed that the logon page correctly redirects now! 
[Edit]Althoug I now see after being logged in that teh Edit and Delete butons are gone and under the Reply options.

It may look like that, but depending on your login status, depends on the options you have in that drop down.
For example, if it is your own post you will have edit, delete, etc. options. If you are a modertor you will have hide, move post, block IP options.
It's away of adding more options to each post, but at the same time keeping it looking clean.
Will however, look at having the drop down removed if there are not going to be any extra options displayed to the user.

There are also a number of other new features, such as a drop down quick Forum Search, and a new Topic Search.
There is also a drop down of this months calendar if you move the mouse over the status bar calendar link. This uses AJAX so that page loading times remain fast and to prevent un-needed database hits.

Yeah, as per my Edit I found that out after logging in.  It certainly does tidy it up in that instance.
I've also had a nosey through the Member Control Panel. That is MUCH nicer now with the tabs, very easy to navigate.

Is the New Topic search the Unanswered Topics one with the blue star?
Found the quick search (I know it's a beta, but the Advanced Search link doesn't take me to an full advanced search page?), very handy.
