Some boards like the company I work for's "League of Lengends" community 
forum (forums.leagueoflegends.com) have several pages which makes it 
easier to find unread threads.  Also if there is a new post to the 
thread, that thread is moved to the top and marked as unread again.  Not 
quite what your asking for but pretty close.
