phpBB displays posts that were made after the user last logged in as new. So, if the user does not view a particular post then logs off and back on it will show that post as read.

You could save a value as to whether a particular user has read each post or not according to the last update for each post. But, that table would grow very big, very fast. For example if you had 400 users and there are 1,000 forum threads, that table would need 400 x 1,000 records - 400,000. Plus, there would need to be a lot more database activity in order to do this. The benefit is not worth the cost in reduced performance IMHO.
