In other forums I participate in there is usually something visually distinguishing new threads / threads with new posts from read threads. As far as I can tell the D&D Beyond forums are NOT doing this. I would find it greatly useful if it would.
Thanks!!

You'll see visual cues next to a thread's little speech bubble icon. A few ... means there's new activity. A small bubble to the top-right of the icon means you commented in the thread. A combination of them means you commented, and there's new comments.

Yeah, this.
However, I do wish there was a way to skim all threads with "new" comments. The forum as it stands is a little over-organized for the amount of discussion (though of course that allows for growth) - it's a little tedious to click through every topic to check what 1-2 new posts have been made.

Maybe a little too subtle, then, but thanks for pointing them out for me!

And an empty bubble means you've seen all the comments ;] (Y)
Also, if you just click on "replies" at the top of the forum list, it will sort to newest at the top.
