Looks pretty... unusable and, no offense, not well thought out...
- Items that deserve no attention are bright and draw the eye
(e.g. numbers in front of questions, what's the use, so you can refer to them in a chat?)
Should be muted at best, perhaps even removed.
- Repetition of the word Points unneeded. Takes up valuable space and adds nothing
(note that I've never used that info either in deciding what to view, but some may)
- Upvote button large, I like but does not need an attention-grabbing color
(at least not until I hover over it).
- Title is still too small in the new design.
- "Posted by" is redundant and could be removed as well, or replaced by "By"
- "Time since" indication which I use as my 'click-trigger' for repeat visits throughout the day
I'd like that to be more prominent than the Posted by, i.e. at the from of the line
- The comment balloons at the end make no sense.
Appreciate the larger target, visually intrusive due to positioning
Sub-optimal in terms of mouse-movements required. I'd put them at the front as well.

In short: I'd like something resembling this http://i.imgur.com/xKRkY.png
