New threads
I love the "new" and "popular" threads at the top of the forum list. This comes in handy when I see a new thread pop up in an area that I'm strong in, then I can just click it and reply.
However, sometimes it's hard to tell what forum the threads are in. The subject line is usually ambigious and I don't always have the status bar showing. Currently, there is a thread called "Data structures". I am pretty good at data structures and I would have liked to help until I clicked it and realized that it was in the Perl forum (and I'm not too good with Perl). Had it been the Java forum, I probably could have helped more. Is there something you can add to include the forum name with the thread. Either as a parenthetical - "Data structures (Perl programming)" or maybe even as a tooltip where I can just hover the link and it will give more info, say "Perl programming, posted by geo_101" or something. Then when I see a topic that I may be of help with, I can just hover the link to see where it is. If it's in C or Python, I probably won't be much help. If it's in PHP or Java, I may have a better chance at knowing the answer. It's not much work to click it and if I don't know the answer, I can just click back. I can live with that. I was just wondering if this functionality could be easily added to save some people a few clicks and thread page loads/bandwidth (which may be beneficial to you guys in the long run).

I usually just hover over the link and look at the bottom of my browser. It should say.
