It would be great if the "view new comments" link indicated how many new comments there were and how many were unread.
so the new link might look like this:
view new comments (4/6)
where four is number of unread comments and 6 is the number of new comments.
or
view new comments (4 unread / 6 new)
But this might take up too much space.

moshe weitzman commentednice idea. alas, that query is a bit intense, and would have to be repeated for every page view. Since users are constantly reading comments, it isn't much help to cache the query as a session variable.
Maybe someone else can think of a light-weight way to do this.
