XF 1.2 Put a ● before unread subforum

[Marcus]

I want to put a ● before a unread subforum: (here Coca Cola and Pepsi are subforums with new posts)

Drinkforum
● Coca Cola ● Pepsi

I tried this, but it breaks the line:

.hasnew:before{content:"● "}

Best would be a ● left from the text (<LI> element), as when the subforum title is too large and it breaks into the new line, it doesn't look like this:

● Coca
Cola

but like this

● Coca
...Cola

Probably the reason it is not lining up is you are adding another character to the name. instead of using graphics.
Look at @Shelley resource at http://xenforo.com/community/resources/1-2-subforum-unread-read-icons-indicators.1988/
Create your desired graphics and use yours instead of what she provided.
