Hi!  I've made a few changes here in order to show the listings and new groups so that they can be seen easier. 

The New Threads and New Posts widgets can be found in the Forum Activity link in the top menu. This allows those things to be seen easier as well. I know the mobile view isn't the best at the moment. Will work on that too.

I fixed the member level permissions for the Forum Activity page as experts weren't able to see it. You should all be able to see it now.
