What would such a button do?
It would allow you to view all of the topics which have new
messages (replies) in since your last visit. Each the topic would
contain the new messages only and, if it makes sense, the
original messages too.
For example, assume that I had already read everything and
replied to your message some time ago.
A few minutes later I had pressed button/link "View New Posts" on
the "Forum Index" page so that there was your reply only.
The page could look as follows.
› Forum Index

The page would be empty at all, if there was nothing new for
reading. Alternatively, another approach could keep it as it is
for now, but indicate somehow on unread messages (e.g. change the
font style or place a count of new messages).
Then, if I had entered to "digitalmars.D" with the new message
the page could look as below.

Dmitry ? hours ago // original message, had
been already read
Vladimir Panteleev ? minutes ago // unread message
Sorry for unclear explanation.
In other words, button "View New Posts" could update a page
filtering out all read messages.
