[Will Fix] Not all number counts on the site are correctly "comma'd"

post #1 of 10
Thread Starter 

Reproducibility:

Yes, always the same.

 

Repro Steps:

I check the following values on the forum:

1) My own post count on my profile.

2) The popup showing the number of replies for a thread.

3) The tooltip that pops up when changing pages on a thread.

4) The actual button for changing pages.

5) The post # on a large thread.

 

Expected:

I expected numbers greater than 999 to have one comma after the thousand, and numbers greater than 999,999 to have two commans; one after the million, and one after the thousand. :)

 

Notes:

Windows 7 x64 Professional

IE9 x32

 

URL:

I can't give a URL for all five (since the main thread I was using is now deleted), but I took screenshots to explain:

 

1) http://www.overclock.net/u/43170/zodac

2) *thread deleted*

3) *thread deleted*

I think some of the numbers still count deleted posts?

Would that matter? If the site shows "3768", it should be "3,768", regardless of whether the number is correct, no?

I'm assuming this was left off to avoid confusion that might arise for international users - in some countries in Europe and Latin America, the comma and decimal separators are reversed (IE, 1,000.57 to 1.000,57) - I even see them swapped here in Miami sometimes, since we are a majority Spanish-speaking population. Most numbers on the site aren't so large as to really require the separators for readability, we rarely break into the hundred-thousands in places I can think of.

This is the kind of thing that might be more aptly considered a suggestion/request rather than a bug.

Well, it's just that it's an inconsitency; in many places commas are used properly, while in other places they're just not included at all. Hence I felt it was more of an oversight than a concsious decision.

 

Also, I'd like to make two points if it will help:

 

1) I can't think of a single place where we use decimal points on this site. So when taking context into account, even for people who use . rather than commas, it should be clear what the number means.

 

2) Large post counts (for crazy spammers like myself), and post #s in large threads are common enough.

 

But it's mainly consistency; if the postcount under my avatar has a comma, why doesn't the one in my profile? Either way, it should be fixed. :P

The comma thing being different in different countries is a good point, I had a couple serious mishaps when living in Italy due to that. Funny how the difference between $1,234 and $1.234 can cause such a major life problem when the country you're in reverses that punctuation.

However, it should be consistent. That is a valid point and we should look at it when time allows.

Ahh, gotcha! I didn't realize it wasn't consistent - I though we were just suggesting the change. smile.gif

Speaking of numbers, the item count in sig rigs are also mostly wrong. For example, Chipp, your morpheus.local has 15 items but count is 19, faith.local only has 10 but count is 13. Same with my sig rigs too - 19, 14, 15 while it's 12, 8, 8 respectively.

There's a similar 'counting' bug elsewhere on the forum, but we'd be better off making fresh reports for them. ^_^
