So Riot has finally upgrade the boards okay I am fine with it but they need improvements.

1.) When is player behavior forum going to come back I miss these boards I enjoyed reading the behavior boards and learning about toxicity in games in fact it helped me learn to deal with some types of toxicity over the years.

2.) In regards to player behavior, Why has (Toxicity) been on a major increase, Almost every single game I have played today I have been matched in many toxic games perhaps 8 games total today mostly champion select trolls, players raging over other players champion select choices, and even some games where players just completely spent the entire game throwing insults at one another and spend the entire game threatening reports after being really toxic to the point where I get (Two Automated) Behavior warnings in two games, this behavior feels unacceptable and I would like to know if besides new boards if Riot is working on cutting this behavior down its really disturbing having these type of players in games.

3.) The boards need to offer new posting order so active threads get bumped to the Top rather than stay in same location.

4.) The theme for some of the boards is hard to read for some the ability to change backgrounds would be great.

I am sure there are other good changes that could come to these boards that I am not thinking of, but in General I personally like the old boards better much easier to navigate and use.

Agreed.

Using your experience today as evidence of toxicity on the rise doesn't work, because it's not a good sample, because:

Randomness happens. Some days you get paired with better teammates, some days you get worse. 8 games is not a big enough sample.
You are in all of your games. Therefore, your behavior influences other people. If you're having a bad day, and are rude, others tend to be more toxic back to you.

Report warnings don't just happen whenever you get reported. They happen when you get reported a couple times, which is usually a sign that your behavior isn't acceptable by community standards.

Also, why are you spending your whole game listening to them insult each other, instead of playing the game you love? I mute people after the first insult - it's made games so much more enjoyable.

3.) The boards need to offer new posting order so active threads get bumped to the Top rather than stay in same location.

They have this! Choose "Recent" sorting.

I used to dislike it, too, but it's grown on me.
