I've yet to find a way to join two COUNT(*) queries together, but this will work

PHP Code:

$starttime = mktime(0, 0, 0, date('m'), date('d'), date('Y'));
 $newposts = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post WHERE dateline >= $starttime");
 $newthreads = $db->query_first("SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "thread WHERE dateline >= $starttime");
 $poststoday = vb_number_format($newposts['count']);
 $threadstoday = vb_number_format($newthreads['count']); 

Sadly, 2 queries per view of the forumhome page -.-

If we could store the data in the datastore that would help >_<
