I know a lot of people who'd like the new way of writing leader-board numbers to return back to the old, full number method.
-------------------------------------
For Example:

It used to say:

Bob - 153,962 pts
Steve - 142,583 pts

Now it says:

Bob - 153K+ pts
Steve 142K+ pts
-------------------------------------
Another example, but this time more invigorating.

Nick - 1,294,853
Matthew - 1,200,031
Bob - 734,932
Steve - 734,001

Now it says:

Nick - 1.2m+
Matthew - 1.2m+
Bob - 734K+
Steve - 734K+
-------------------------------------
As a result of this, it is hard to tell (especially in-game) who has more points than the other.
-------------------------------------
There are many games which rely on an accurate scoring system but the update has completely ruined the experience, yes, sometimes if a number is really high, it can be too big for a box.

This can be fixed by perhaps imputing a leader-board block extender to house the number or only abbreviate the number only when a number gets too high, this could be set by the developer of a game.

Thanks for reading this all, I hope you haven't fallen asleep.

the system you're talking about doesnt seem to work in studio

it just shows up as 5,000,000(etc) when i type the numbers into leaderstats

of course it is possible that somebody just made the scientific system of kilo's, giga's, mega's, etc by themselves

By the system, I mean something that COULD be implemented to stop large numbers from out sizing the boxes they accommodate, this is not (currently) a system that you could use as it would have no effect until ROBLOX decide to revert the number update.

Dude, they show normally by default. When they show stuff like 48K it's just the game owner scripting it in.

@kiddy, it's me (I changed my name) It is not set by default, if you'd have a look at the leaderboards out of a game, they are all abbreviated and it is NOT set by the developer.

I have no idea who you are...
Anyway, my game is perfectly fine, I don't have abbreviated numbers in mine and I didn't even edit anything.

@kiddy, I am mastertealmon, I just changed my name. The reason (probably) you don't get your numbers abbreviated is because it has to be >1K or >1m, I'm not sure exactly what, I'll do some research.

I don't really recognize a mastertealmon. And I have nearly 200,000 thousand cash in my game yet it doesn't abbreviate.
