All numbers on the site are now shown in the English notation. That means: 123456789.543210 will be shown as 123,456,789.543210. The numbers are becoming very large, and without this notation some people have to count the digits to see how many million credits they have.

I'm also updating the database and all scripts to add the decimals to all relevant numbers. These will only be shown on the detailed stats pages, and will be used to sort users with the same number of credits.

hmm, i think that two decimal places should be enough..are we going by the project with the least accurate xml stats?

I agree, the decimals should be limited to two or three at most. Internally the numbers can still be in long decimal so that the rankings will still be calculated the same way.
