If you over write the old hack there I don't see how. I have personally tested it on my forum.
Regardless, replace your forumhome_latestthreadbit template with the following:
PHP Code:
<div class="smallfont">
<a href="showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&goto=newpost" title="$thread[preview]"><strong>$thread[title]</strong></a>
<em>$vbphrase[last_post]:</em> $thread[date] <if condition="$vboptions['yestoday'] != 2"><span class="time">$thread[time]</span></if> <phrase 1="member.php?find=lastposter&t=$thread[threadid]" 2="$thread[lastposter]">$vbphrase[by_x]</phrase>
» $vbphrase[replies]: $thread[replycount]
» $vbphrase[views]: $thread[views]
</div>
