I tested and created New Threads Widget:Just tried it, works fine for me with "Thread view: Sidebar" as position.
/admin.php?widgets/add&definition_id=new_threads
Thread view: Sidebar

Best ad positions
These positions should do very well. Please share your results!
- Container content: Above - This position should work for most forums
- Container content: Below - A nice one that gives some extra revenue
- Post: Below message container - This one is also interesting but be careful. It can be intrusive. Therefor I suggest to only show an ad after the first and before the last post. The conditional to accomplish this can be found below in this article.
- After
first unreadthe last unread post - RobParker reported very good results with this one. To use this position you will need an addon (Ads Manager 2 lite by Siropu).
I think he meant 'first unread post'. As far as I know, there is no 'last unread post' position with the Ads Manager 2 add-on.(Rob Parker said: "...The best position BY FAR is directly after the last unread post. ...")

<xf:if is="$__globals.firstUnread.post_id == $post.post_id">
<div style="margin:3px 0 3px 0;">
### your ad code ###
</div>
</xf:if>
Article updated to include a position for your ad to show after the first unread post (thanks @mjda!)
