I can't do anything about the ads we're seeing, but I can do something about the missing new post icon you could click:
We could have put a small png inline there, but I looked and saw they were loading FontAwesome anyway, so I picked what I thought was best from http://fontawesome.io/icons/
Also, I'm not really a fan of the cyan buttons, so I propose changing them to a nice teal color:
Yep, I'm even changing the icon colors

Code:
/* You need to replace this one that I changed earlier */
ul.topics li.row {
padding: 10px 15px 8px 45px;
}
/* Add the comments icon back in the hackiest way possible */
a.row-item-link {
font-size: 22px;
color: teal;
margin-top: 10px
}
a.row-item-link::before {
margin-left: 10px;
content:"f27a";
/* Because I can't add FontAwesome .fa class directly */
display:inline-block;
font:normal normal normal 14px/1 FontAwesome;
font-size:inherit;
text-rendering:auto;
-webkit-font-smoothing:antialiased;
-moz-osx-font-smoothing:grayscale
