When I look at a project with a lot of views, the number may look something like 24895. This number may be easy to read, but without stopping, could you read 12344606? How about 1873050? I just think it'd be a convenience to divide the numbers up, or at least put spaces between each three numbers to make it easier to read. Some Scratchers are half supporting because not everybody uses a comma as a separator. One user suggested that spaces can replace commas, another said commas, decimal points, or spaces can be determined by county. The last workaround is simply by user preference, where a user has a drop-down menu in account settings to choose how the numbers appear. Only thing I don't want is to have the number simplified, that seems unreasonable when you can show the actual number. I actually hate when it says 10k+ instead of 10,034 because I like the exact facts (and numbers) which is also why I hate the ROBLOX view count system.

Support for commas, it would be very helpful.

Yup!

Support for spaces instead of commas because I think different countries use periods or something.
This should only apply to the number of projects, follows, followers, loves, views, comments, favorites, studios, curators, and anywhere else other than in the actual code.

Periods or commas could be decided based on your language.

I support for commas.

support.

Support for some sort of number separation, but most of the world uses periods rather than commas.

Great idea, support! I think we could use narrow nbsps ( ) as separators, per Sheep_maker's subsuggestion. For instance, 24 895, 12 344 606, 1 873 050, etc.

I agree with this version of the idea.

No support. Use spaces or scientific notation instead. Commas are ambiguous, as some countries use a decimal point instead.

5.785 = 5 thousand 785 for these people.

Likewise, the comma is sometimes used for the decimal point.

5,785 = 5 + 785/1000.

Use spaces for thousands, or scientific notation (150000000000000 = 1.5e+14). Use the decimal point only, and leave it at that.

Well, in the US, Populating almost half the scratch community (%46.06) I think commas or spaces will do, as many worldwide social media sites like Facebook and Twitter imply the comma rule. US implies the comma rule, and scientific notation is hard to understand to someone who isn't as smart as you, not to note that a project will never reach 1.5e+14 views. I suppose the rule could be modified so that users with a “home county” set to a country following the decimal rule so that the marks appear as decimal points. Also, just out of curiosity, if a decimal place serves a thousands comma, how is a decimal like 2.5 written?

bump

I say something like “10k+ views”

Not sure, but I think it's just 2.5? Probably not because how would pi be written? (3.141592653) But, building upon this idea, instead of the country, the language as udoxas suggested:

I support that. ^^

Did anyone just see what I said about the separator being decided based on your language?

2,5 is 2.5 in these countries.

Also, you could apply the rule based on your language. The US is dominant, but we should be making things easy and unambiguous for everyone, not hard with US imperialism and OUR RULE IS THE BEST WE IGNORE THE LOCAL RULES or something.

support, their is clearly no reason agianst it

Support, for convince sake

Support!!! Can you read this:
123712363281621?

How about this?
123,712,363,281,621 (123 trillion, 712 billion, 363 million, 281 thousand, 621)
(AKA, 123.712363281621 times 10 to the 12th)
