Now updated to vB 4.0.7 as labeled in the new download
Here's a skin I am sort of modeling off of vb.org here, I am using threadmarkers from Shelley_c https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229462 (mostly because I am just not that fond of the huge images they are using in 4).
To install go to AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Download / Upload Styles > Import style XML file and browse for vb4_blue-style.xml and import it. Upload the images to your forum root images folder, so it should be forum/images/vb4_blue.
Q&A
Q: How do I enable the side blocks?
A: Admin CP > Settings > Options > Forum Sidebar and Block Options. You must also go to Forums & Moderators > Forum Blocks Manager and add your blocks before it will work.
Q: I don't have a CMS, will this still work for the forum only?
A: Yes.
Q: It's working for the forum but not the CMS?
A: Login from the front end, use the pencil icon and change the theme to the new style instead of default style.
Anything 4.0.2 or below please download vB4_Blue.zip
Looks like the difference is the "daily" versus "new" in the do=
Okay, you will find those in the navbar template if you do a search for do=getdaily and replace them with do=getnew I remember having to mess with this before because getdaily wasn't working for me, seemingly the opposite of your issue. Hopefully this will resolve it for you. Besides this were there any other issues, layout, etc?

There don't seem to be any other issues otherwise. I'm thinking I noticed this issue in particular because I've not been at my site for a couple of days and by the time I installed this update I had already read today's (ie daily) posts.
Anyway...there are 14 "getdaily" references in the navbar, but some refer to {vb:rawphrase's "today" as a variable. My suspicion (in looking at the default template) that "new" and "daily" are certainly very different things.
I changed only 9 of the do=getdaily to do=getnew (anything relating to "new" in the subsequent {vb:rawphrase
Another thing I noticed...since the update, my postbit legacy spacing was back to the default...where the signature appeared below the postbit block, rather than the post.
I'm not sure if that's a coincidence or not, but it seemed to ignore / erase the additional.css change I made to fix this.
I've since edited the default postbit.css as explained here...everything seems to be fine now.
4.0.8 is out already? I am not sure but unless they've made significant changes to the templates this should still work. Still, keeping up with all their updates can be mind numbing sometimes.
