From the list of threads that have been updated, ctrl-click on the new posts button for each thread you are in or that you think you'll like. Now you have a set of tabs with all the new messages.

Hit ctrl-W to close each tab when you're done reading it, and you move to the next thread.
Or in IE6 you can right click the button and choose open in new window which'll give you the new post threads in a pile of erm windows (well, that's what it's called dammit!) .

I do the same as UT, but instead of ctrl-clicking to open a new tab, I click with the scroll wheel of my mouse. Can type one handed that way. :p

I like the ctrl-w tip to close the tabs. That speeds things up.

With IE-7, if I ctrl/click each thread in the new posts, it opens a tab for each one. But, when I go from tab to tab, it opens at the first post of the thread instead of the last read post.
