I wonder what would happen if they were the first block on the page?
I use them a lot personally.

Worth a try moving them up?

They would need to be swapped with the 'Featured Threads' widget if they're to be moved. The Latest threads would need to be brought down from 25 to about 8 so as to not push the forum further down the fold... (all imo of course)

from a usability perspective there are two many options on the home page... moving them wont change the fact that you can just press "new posts" or "quick links - todays posts"
