TOPIC | Commas in large numbers

[quote name="Pilotslover" date="2015-12-15 02:36:08" ] Support. I would prefer it to be commas since that's what I was brought up with and I would love if FR would let us chose how we wanted to display large numbers. To me 1,000,000 is easier to read than 1000000 or 1 000 000 (since numbers with spaces in tend to be phone numbers here). [/quote] I tend to read numbers with spaces as separate numbers, not one large number, so if we can only get one, I support commas, but would prefer to be able to choose which separator I use.

Support as this is absolutely an accessibility issue. Treasure numbers get real big real fast. I am not very good of sight, and though I can get by most of the time with the text size FR chooses, large numbers trick my eyes up waaaaay too much. The site should be optimally accessible to as many people as possible imo.

I would love this! For me, it's hard to see the numbers unless I lean closer t the screen. Commas would help a lot.

Yes please, this would be so helpful! Commas would be great, the spaces could possibly be read as separate numbers so that could get more confusing.

Please don't put in commas. Small spaces would be fine.

Why no commas you ask?
Primarily, for those users who may be copying values into a spreadsheet or something like that and don't want to deal with removing commas.
Personally, because commas in numbers aren't used in the scientific community since they can be mistaken for a decimal place, and I think the world is moving toward this choice in general. Let's not go backwards.

If you think text is too small just set it one or two sizes bigger.

@yellowcello
For the spreadsheet part, I actually have a solution for that! Using Google Sheets, click on a cell, click on the number format button (the 123 in the top bar), and make a custom number format under More Formats. If you set the custom format to ###0, it will return numbers without commas, eg 1000 instead of 1,000. You can also insert spaces by doing ### 0. Once the format has been created, you can just apply it to the cells you don't want commas in.

Support. When something has a lot of zeros but no separators, I do tend to get confused. I have to check multiple times by placing my mouse in between sets of three numbers to make sure I have it right.
