Can I still use this method? How do I visit a thread where I last left off?

The "first new post" text link has been replaced by the little blue "down" arrow to the left of the thread title. It works the same as the prior function.

Also, I liked how my old "User Control" panel would only show subscribed threads that had new posts. Now my UCP doesn't show these.

I don't know all the specifics of subscribed threads, but I don't think the new software eliminated any of the old options, they just may be located in a slightly different place. Just take some time to go through the User CP pages. There seem to be more of them than before, so I'm sure all the old settings are in there somewhere, plus many more.

How can I go back to the old way of browsing? This new way seems clunkier and more time consuming...and I feel that I am missing on updated threads that I don't realize have new posts.

Not sure what you mean by the "old" way? Is your display set to "linear display" rather than "thread display"? Linear presents the posts in the format we're used to from the old software. When the forum came back up, "thread" view was the default. That was the first thing I had to change.
And threads with new posts appear in boldface type at the top of the list in each forum. Threads that do not have any new posts since your last visit are in regular (non-bold) typeface.
