[support] "New" flags in forum comments?

[Steve Hays]

Is there a mechanism for flagging new (=unread) comments in  
forums,etc.?  I know how to flag new content in Views, but what about  
on non-Views pages?
I could, of course, develop a Views page to replace forums pages (at  
least I *think* I can), but I'd rather not have to do that and all  
the .css it would require.
Is there an easy way built into Drupal (or Comments mod) to flag new  
comments?  I have a feeling I'm being really dense.

thanks,
