Show Unread Comments: Version 1.1
Ask and you shall receive: I’ve updated my Show Unread Comments WordPress plugin to incorporate a few suggestions from people just like you.
The first change made to the plugin is actually a bug fix. With the initial version, the statuses of comments on pages were not marked appropriately, and status indicators were not showing up next to comments on pages. This has been fixed, so you’ll now see comments being tracked properly on pages.
The next change made to the plugin is the most popular feature request: the ability to return a binary value with show_unread_comment_status().
Now all you have to do is pass bin for $type and you’ll be returned true if the comment has been read and false if the comment is unread. This should make dynamically updating CSS for read and unread comments a snap.
Make sure you visit the Show Unread Comments page to get all the intimate details.
If you’re in a hurry you can download the latest version of the plugin at:
I’ve still got one more feature I’d like to get implemented, and that’s for the ability to create a direct link to the oldest unread comment when you’re viewing a given post or page, so if you’ve got any other feature requests or find a bug make sure you comment below or contact me so I can make sure to include it in the next version!

Have you considered adding support for registered users so they can keep track of new comments on multiple computers? It would be nice if cookies were only used for unregistered users.
Thanks for spending time on this plugin by the way! Appreciate it.

Bug:
When post is not found, function rjp_suc_set_recent_posts_cookie() tries to query database with empty $wp_query->post->ID.
That leads to DB error.
Actually, I added return like this
$postid = $wp_query->post->ID;
if (!$postid) return;
Now seems to handle page-not-found situation.
