Title: SMF 2 Problem
Post by: reactosguy on 14 December 2009, 04:11
Posts:15 (7,500 per day)
The problem is that 15 is less than 7,500 so it is impossible to post 7,500 posts when you only have 15.
This is my 16th post so you won't find the problem on there but I'll give you a screen shot here (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GSbQ77-7bxc/SyWscDFUIYI/AAAAAAAAACU/tsyMIq4OhmU/s1600-h/smf2problem.png) as my proof. Careful: The screen shot is 1600 x 900 so your computer may have problems loading it.

No issue to be worried about. It will probably fix itself given time.

That average is calculated once per week. It now says "8 per day" on your profile.

It means 7.5, some people use a comma rather than full stop as the decimal place.

Ah, that's it :D

Aloone_Jonez' post average is now 1,836, and has 3.714 in total.

I'll change the . and , to what's normal for the UK, I somehow thought the 3,000.00 setting was a forum glitch or something, so I changed it to 3.000,00.

The comma is not normal for the UK, I think it's an eastern European thing. The forum probably has some sort of feature to enable the users to set it in their preferences but it's hardly worth it.

I think it's also accepted under some engineering drawing standard which is think is bullshit.

So you just write one million as
1000000?

No we use commas every three zeros i.e. on million is 1000,000 but we use a full stop for the decimal place.

In America, we get confused when people say 'full stop'.  At the end of a sentence, we refer to it as a 'period'.  In URLs, it's a 'dot'.  And in mathematical notation, it's a 'decimal point'.

A full stop normally comes at the end of a sentence.

I didn't want to say decimal because some people think that's a comma.

A period where I live is either an interval of time or moody time of the month for a female.

This is very confusing.
