Manual:
In advf-forum-list.tpl.php find:

<td <?php print $forum->is_container ? 'colspan="4" class="container"' : 'class="forum"'; ?>>

Replace with:

<td 
<?php if( $forum->is_container){
	print 'colspan="4" class="container"';
}elseif ($forum->new_topics){
	print 'class="forum forum-list-new"';
}else{
	print 'class="forum"';
}
?>>

in advanced_forum.css find:

#forum tr td.forum {
  background-image:url(images/forum.png);
  background-position:2px 50%;
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  padding-left:25px;
}

After insert:

#forum tr td.forum-list-new{
  background-image:url(images/forum-all-new.png);
}

Committed to 5.x. Will add it to 6.x as well when I update that.

Thanks,

Some time ago I made some code that also included new replies/comments: http://groups.drupal.org/node/7916
you can see it in action at http://www.ammenet.dk/forum (grey hearts means no new posts).

Zandroc - I keep looking at that red folder and thinking there's an error... Too conditioned, I guess. :) Any chance of making a less "alert" colored folder? Green, perhaps?

robotjox - Whoops, lost track of that g.d.o post. If it's not in the issue queue I tend to forget. I'll make an issue for it so I don't forget about it again. Unfortunately, I'm at the end of what I'm going to be able to do on advforum for at least the next few days.
