I guess I'm really missing something fundamental.

I'm looking at the main forum index; it tells me (for example) that the 
"Off-Topic" forum has 4 topics and 12 posts and when the last of those 
was, while the "User Groups and Gatherings" has 5 topics and 5 posts and 
when its last post was.

If I click again on the "index" link, it will give me updated numbers - 
but how do I know which have changed since I visited the individual 
forum (or since I read the messages within each forum) ?   (I surely 
don't memorize all 58 numbers and 29 times and mentally check if any 
have changed :-)

As it happens, I know that I have read all 4 topics and 12 posts in 
"Off-topic" and none of the posts in "User Groups ..." - but there is no 
differentiation between how those appear in the index.
