Small question, why are there commas in the number of posts now? It's really awkward thinking the QQ thread has 8 and a third posts... Please change it to the way it should be, with a . in between and not a ,
Thanks!

You really think "8 and a third" when you see there are 8,334 posts in the QQ Thread? o_o

TBH it all depends on where in the world you are. Some people use a dot, others a comma, and in another place they just use spaces (which to me seems like the one that's the most transparent).
It's the same problem that occurs when writing in english on a european pc (results use a . to mark decimals, programs want a ,).
Untill there's a worldstandard for stuff like this we will have to get used to thinking about what would make sense, instead of just assuming it fits our preferred method.




remember the +rep if you found someone's comments helpful!
