This is a good idea.

Something I'd like even better, is a way to see if there are new comments on a thread I've read. For example, links I've read are dimmed, relative to unreads. If the link "un-dimmed" itself when a new comment was entered (optionally), that would be useful.

I remember what I've read, but I don't remember the last comment-count of everything I've read.

Hide/unhide wouldn't dp the trick for that, though.

I like how Reddit's gold upgrade does it. It provides multiple options to see when new comments were posted[1] and highlights new comments in the selected time period[2].

Paired with campbell's suggestion of 'x new comments' i think it would work really nicely.

Perhaps something like this

Inspired by Reddit Enhancement Suite new comment count.
