Refreshing will refresh the page, but you're still telling it to go to the same post.
I typically just note the post number I'm at, click the pagenumber at the bottom of the page to call the page up from the beginning again and scroll down to the last post I read before refreshing.
When coding a website, doesn't one generally have a choice about what URL will be displayed? So shouldn't it be possible to tell your browser to go to the first unread post AND to keep the URL without the post number tag?

For example, this thread is http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/55/about-forums/atf-chatroom-o-t-chat-1494 so a bookmark to http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/55/about-forums/atf-chatroom-o-t-chat-1494-new will always take you to the first unread post.
This looks like it could help, I'll have to try it in a game.
Thanks for the replies.
