I've added tracking of accessed to threads, so when someone posts to a thread, it'll show up as "new" to you. The standard approach right now is to bold it and set the background color of the row to the current background color of the page.
If you are using advanced layout options, you'll want to add rules for .newlist1 and .newlist2 to accomidate these changes.
