Well, all this will need some time to get used to, but I also have several issues...

It's really, really wide, which isn't that good, since there's no content that could fill all that empty space. Mobile version suffers from being too narrow, and the font is so large that even a simple sentence is 5 lines long.

Quick links in a menu? Who offers that, honestly? Every website has hottest links in a big, shiny bar right under the header, so that people don't have to spend their precious time navigating around the website. If that menu contained social media links (with logos), then it would make sense, but let's be honest here: Promods isn't that complex to actually require such menu.

That Donate button is pretty ugly too, but I'm sure you've already been looking for a good replacement.

Little update on unread posts: The big green tick appears when there's a new post since when you last logged in. If there's an unread post waiting for a while already it will only be marked with a small green sheet next to the topic title.

i don't want to play the Devil's advocate, but the older version look cooler. This one is a bit messy and annoying.
Maybe it's just me that i don't like change.

I agree on the donate button part, that should be updated to a ProMods style button.

But remember, the new forum is only a few days old. Things are still changing, being repaired and updated on the fly.

Some say, I'm addicted to ETS2. But then I say. No, it's ProMods, it's a way of life.

When clicking on threads that have new posts since my last visit, I'm seeing an underscore appear between the new post symbol (green page icon) and the thread title when I hover over the page icon. This issue did not occur on the old forum layout.

The website is set to "fluid" design, this means it will adjust to resolutions. If you don't like the width, the best solution is to resize your browser window.

For mobile this is actually 10 times better than the old system that we have.

Quick links, point taken but I'm not currently in a position to change this.

Donate button -> This files is located on PayPal's servers and I can't change it.
They don't have donate forms for dark websites.

Yah it looks fine on my phone tbh, sure a post is over a few more lines but it's cool.

The issue I have more than anything is when unread posts aren't clearly labelled as such. Makes it hard to quickly follow posts in development threads. I don't got the time to take longer than a few seconds to know if there's a new post :(

It isn't working like that though, when I click on "your posts" I have unread messages but the icon next to it is grey not green. On some topics it's green like it should be but on others it's just grey despite it having newer unread posts.

It's really confusing....

I attatched a screen shot of what I mean. The top two topics I have NOT clicked on to see the new posts but there is no green but there is on the one below

The green tick only appears if the post is new since your last visit. Older unread posts are signed by the little sheet next to the title, which should turn green when you clean your cache.
