Support if its like the current “Follow Discussion” button, maybe it'll be like:
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/1/unread/
and it will only work if new topics are created, not posted on.

I've read the whole topic before now, but I think I missed this part, because I was thinking about this yesterday night and came up with the same idea :P I also like the url, and the position of the button in this mockup:

sorry for bad mockup, you can't paste inspect element code outside of the current area

The follow button should probably be at both the top and the bottom of the page if it wants to be consistent with the one for topics.

About where the url would take you, I think it would probably take you to a new page titled "Unread Topics in [Forum Name]", with all the new topics you haven't seen that were created since the last followed forum message. Then you can click on them and check them all out. If not this, then it would probably redirect you to the page with the oldest new topic, where you would still have to find it yourself… or there could be a new indicator for this…?
short: what the url would take you to is not yet clear.
