Maybe mark unread messages somehow? Some vertical line on the right/left maybe?

You mean like the way the "UserName and three others responded" notification of new posts on a topic highlights the new posts? (try it e.g. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:S12prb6trf24nhkz?fromnotif=1#flow-post-s17n6dd2f6sfe7he>)

The "3 new topics on Talk:Sandbox" notification could do something similar, showing a vertical line next to the title bars of new posts.

We could add a "Highlight all posts newer than this" to each post's action menu, but it feels a bit esoteric. User JS or a gadget could easily do it.
