I agree, those "telephone numbers" are hard to decipher on first glance.

All of these are much better:
2 800 000
2,800,000
2.800.000

I prefer 2 800 000 - lack of . , avoids confusion with decimal point in case of (for example) 28,000

Absolutely agree with OP. And either of those is better, but prefer 2,800,000

I would prefer, if PI contracted some UI expect, to help them with design of UI - at the end of the day, it would be best for everyone.

I'd hate 2,800,000 because in some countries (Finland) that means 2.8
2 800 000 would be the best in my opinion, no one should have a problem with it.

even better would be 2.8 mill. ppl , .. or if under 1 mill, then 580 k, .. or 24k..

Either way, all numbers )not just province population) should be standartized in a form that makes them clearly understandable (counting zeroes to check if 2800000 is 280K or 2.8M is annoying).

Ten posts in and no one has disagreed with the OP.

This may be the most unified thread on these forums!

+1 to the OP!

The Unified People's Democratic Front of HoI it is then.

Yeah, it's a "no brainer" really. One of those so obvious I guess it's easy to miss being involved in the work.
Which is why wider Betas can be a good idea.

I don't like the idea, I prefer the squished numbers, it's much easier for me to read.

(i actually like the idea, but it wouldn't be a proper thread if no one disagreed)

What exactly does Pdx have to lose from an open beta, I wonder?
