Yeah, it's just going through and finding which one it is. I took a look and it's actually not as bad as I thought it was.

The forum software already does that sort of thing though, the message graphics in the topic view and the red dots on the forum view let you know which ones have new posts in them. You can even click the red pip in front of the topic title and it'll take you to the first new post since you last read the thread. And if you click the red buttons on the forum display it will mark all the items in the forum as read.

So having the links change colour when clicked on would be kind of redundant, plus the link colour wouldn't change back when the thread had new posts in it. So you'd look at a thread and know you've looked at it already, but there's new posts in it. Plus I don't think it would look very nice.
