That doesn't do it. For several reasons. First, newest nodes doesn't keep track of what you have visited. All it does is keeping track of when you last hit "I've checked all of these". If you've read some, but not others, newest nodes isn't keeping track.

Second, even if it would do that it still doesn't keep into account that if you visit a node, you also see all the replies (up to 4 or 5 levels). Not even in combination of your browser is that kept track off.

I've said it before, but Perlmonks (not just Perlmonks, but most "webboards") is a reinvention of Usenet, but with a far worse interface.
