Number of postings as full numbers instead of abbreviation

[AndreasW2000]

Hi everyone,

In my forum, the number of postings is abbreviated everywhere. I running my forum in German, so it will say for instance 402Tsd - in English I guess it would say 402K ... is there some place where this can be edited so the full number is shown?

Sorry, there currently is not a setting for the number abbreviation. 

Did find the following Feature Suggestion topic if you wish to add your voice for a change:

Okay, that's really a pitty. Though I am glad I wasn't simply too dumb to find the according setting.

I hope this will be adjustable in the future. I did also add my voice to the thread you mentioned, thanks.

I edited my post_container template, this line, just remove format="short"

								<i class="fa fa-comment"></i> {number="$comment->author()->member_posts" format="short"}

Oh nice, thanks, I'll try that :)

Sorry if I sound dumb but where about is this? I can't find it in my templates. I have even used the search bat post_container template.

Go into your theme (in the ACP) and click the "Edit HTML and CSS" button on the right.

Then, once you're in that area, there is the "Templates" tab on the left. Navigate to forums/topics/postContainer

N.B. I changed the "short" to "long", as highlighted in this screencap.

Hope that helps!

Thank you. Managed to do it.

How are the forum statistics and number of posts in each forum changed please?

How can the forum statistics be changed? wanting to achieve 2,300 instead of 2.3k

Haven't gotten that one changed yet. Hopefully, someone will come along who figures it out. I also wish there was a way to show how many threads were in a forum (from the main front page), not just the post count.
