It depends on how you've implemented your forum. Google "asp.net notification system" for some examples that should get you in the right direction.

You can use SignalR. Check the doc I created which contains resources to read and implement - Real Time Notification using SignalR - Docs.com[^].

Read/Unread is just a matter of having a boolean field on your table and updating when user opens the message on UI.

Then start by exploring through videos either from Youtube or Microsoft Virtual Academy. That will really help. Because we easily memorize things we see than read. Don't worry, be patient and start.

Here is the search from MVA - SignalR.
