Show full number rather than 1.0K

We want to see the entire number rather than 1.0K Votes

I'm thinking ahead to when we have multiple ideas beyond 1K. We can see the exact number in reporting so it's not a huge issue for us tbh. I think the hover idea could solve for it.

Any other companies hit beyond 1k out of curiosity?

Thanks for elaborating.

Yep, definitely! The #1 post on all of Canny has almost 17k votes. We have a bunch of customers in the consumer space with millions of users.

Also curious if this is something you'd need for the public view, or just the admin view?

Interesting. The reason we started truncating is because there typically isn't a big difference between 2,093 votes and 2,145 votes, but I can definitely imagine a scenario where you'd want to know the exact number. 4 digits also starts to get pretty tight in our UI, spacing-wise.

Would it be cool if we showed it on hover, or would you want it to always show?
