The user card in the revision list, for example here, shows the exact amount of reputation:

screenshot of reputation displayed as 159011

This is not consistent with how the flair works on (all?) other places in the site, e.g. under a post. There, the amount is displayed in units of thousands (k):

screenshot of reputation displayed as 159k

(or, in very special cases, millions (m).)

It used to be consistent, see e.g. this snapshot from 2017:

    This is definitely a recent bug. It used to be shown consistently.

    @SebastianSimon you're right, I found an old example in the Wayback Machine.

    Note: When you are less than 10K Flair you get one place of decimal.

    Yes, this appears to be caused by a recent change. Another issue I noticed that could be related is that the vertical spacing has been reduced (example). The height of certain revision elements has also been reduced (example), although I don't think that that last one is an issue.

  • This could be the recent change that caused all of that.

  • Now also reported on MSO: User reputation is expanded in revision history page.

    Badges also show the incorrect glyph on sites that have custom badges, defaulting to the SE standard circle. Raised in separate meta

    Another side effect of this issue: suspended users normally have their badges hidden on user cards, and this used to also be in revision histories, but now they don't.

    You're right. That change probably broke my NSFW script as well.

  • I'm not sure any developer actually fixed this. The font change has been reverted which means the design codebase was reverted to some past version. Good chance it's a version before the bug that broke revisions, so when they'll fix it and apply the changes again, the bug reported here will come back. /cc @Glorfindel (maybe don't accept this just yet?)

  • @ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard I can always unaccept, and this change was unrelated to the font change (the bug is from February, the font change happened in May).

  • @Glorfindel I mean that perhaps something caused the codebase to revert to version even before February.

    @ShadowTheVaccinatedWizard After "Segoe UI" font change, the reputation is displaying as expected.

I prefer 151k instead of 151011, because to me it is more readable and I don't have to "count" the digits.

However I'd certainly be open also to supporting a modified feature request which asks to show 151.011k in your case, so that it's both easy to interpret and also exact/accurate.

    Why 151.011k when just adding the comma (which would be consistent with other things around the site? The decimal plus k is more confusing than just "151,011".

    @Catija The previous system with k just looked better. It's especially irritating when trying to count the number of digits in the 1 million club.

  • "The decimal plus k is more confusing". Your rep currently says 87.1k. That's already how it is (with decimal plus k). Not sure how this could be "more" confusing.
