Can’t imagine this is intentional. I think it is an error stemming from values over 9,999.

It seems to be intentional, looking over the code. I opened a Github issue for that here: https://github.com/inaturalist/inaturalist/issues/2318

Seems like it would be a fairly quick fix, but I’m no expert.

@silversea_starsong, is the issue resolved for you?

it isn’t yet for me…

This is partly due to laziness / lack of creativity on my part, but also a need to keep the widths of those numbers consistent on the y axis. We can probably change this to support things like 10k for 10,000 and 10M for 10,000,000 and 10G or 10B for 10,000,000,000 (maybe some day) as Kevin suggested, and use the actual numbers in the rollover. Would that work for people?

Also, kevinevans, I’d appreciate it if you would refrain from opening open-ended github issues like that. IMO, better to get some resolution about what the proposed change actually is before writing up an issue.
