I don’t know why that was removed (probably an accident with some changes earlier this week), but you can use the “Recent Activity” listing on the right side and the arrows at the bottom of that section to see more of the recent content in the forums (including news). Additionally, if you click on the “forums” link in the top menu, you’ll get a listing of all the forums, with tabs across the top. One of them is “New & updated topics”, which should also get you what you’re looking for.
And, now that I’ve written all that, Mikinho will come swooping in and restore the link you were asking about, negating my post entirely. (Seems to be his M.O.)
