How about this:
Highlighted table cell colors
New icon
New text
Bold text
Colored text
Think they would figure out which were NEW? []/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/]
But seriously, maybe a combo of two of them would work. If it can't have the # of new replies, then I don't think it would look that great in that spot next to the subject.
