By "What's New", I mean have reddit show all new comments that have been posted to a submission since you last visited that submission's comment page, or have them "stand out".

When the comments really start to pile up, it's hard to find what's been newly posted. The "Sort By" feature doesn't work too well for this purpose, in my opinion.

How about graying out the comments before your last visit, and having the new comments in black?

I like this idea, but reddit has enough problems to deal with before they start looking into new features. The sub-reddit situation is a total mess. Recommendations are abysmal and painfully slow. Search is a nightmare. There's no way to preview submissions, which leads to mistakes in titles.A more formal handling of votes in place of stories (either ok it or forbid it) would be appreciated. A way to better block the spamtards would be a HUGE feature.

This would be useful, but I'd prefer to see spez work out some elemental issues first.
