Let's try that out since hS said he did the thing, by me replying to you.

A new post is a reply created less than 24 hours ago to a post created more than 24 hours ago.
Actually, these guys should eventually show up as "New", but we'll have to wait a bit.
EDIT: I thought I'd mention that "watch thread" does in fact watch the entire thread, not just immediate replies. That's why it's off by default.

You mentioned something about the pre-subject tags disrupting the layout of replies? I didn't see a post about that.
You should get an email about this

Check the post under the one where I said that - the four pre-tags make it look like that post is in a sub-thread off to the right.

Look at the thread we're in now. The 'Edited' tag on your post makes it look as though 'Does this appear as New too?' has three replies: 'It shouldn't', 'Ooh, does it really', and 'Well, I'm watching.'
Which obviously isn't the case. Now imagine the thread was a controversial discussion, and the shifted title was 'I totally agree!'.

I figured that the little lines of the left would do it, but I can see how that'd be confusing.
Have you got any design suggestions? How do you think it should look?

I agree that the lines ought to work, but don't. A full cycle of bullet-point types could do something (the Board unfortunately only has three, with everything after the first two levels just being a square); in fact, even without that, the bullet would mark the beginning of the subject line nicely - so you'd read the tags as part of the subject, not as empty space.
Or you could move the tags to after the subject, but that would make them less prominent... I don't know how prominent they need to be, though.
Obviously the one that's going to come up most is New, followed by Edited. Locked and Poofed are less critical, because we're not going to be using admin tools very often.
