Another issue - besides personal stamp and crypto input - that I often encounter in the Netherlands is that thousands under 10,000 are stripped of the dot, even though the input screen is quite clear about this.

I've since implemented it this way myself. It saves admin work, but... shouldn't the input screen be adjusted accordingly?

Strange, since punctuation is also described in the manual.

I also found it strange for a while that the dot was consistently removed by the super administrator. But when it comes to "choose your battles," it's not at the top of my list of wonders in the Netherlands. It would be better if the input screen, manual, and application were consistent.

It would be nicer if the input screen, manual and application were consistent.

It would be better if the (super)administrators would adhere to the written agreements and not make/allow an exception for 1 country.

Also true. But direct communication is so difficult that I limit it to a minimum and do the rest on the forum, hoping that other administrators will have more influence than I do as a user.

If I'm not mistaken, that adjustment is relatively recent to fix an inconsistency.

tomdejong shouldn't there be a more active way to actively inform all administrators that there is a manual update?

Helv There hasn't been any update to the manual here. The only information listed for "Circulation" is "Spelling e.g. 1,000,000" and that hasn't changed. What has changed is the on-screen instructions. Collectioneur did that last August and, as far as I know, was properly reported on the forum. It's not customary to send that information separately to all administrators anymore, but if it helps prevent them from making unwarranted corrections, we can certainly consider it in the future.

In our email exchange at the time, we noted that it's not ideal that the '.' is also used in English to separate thousands, while the convention there is a ','. I'd like to reiterate that enforcing a fixed format and language-dependent display can be achieved by using an input template. The limitation is that this prevents the inclusion of non-standard text in the field (but perhaps that's not the intention anyway).

For circulation figures, I can't imagine why an input mask that forces a period for thousands wouldn't work. It might even be an autocorrect.

An input mask is indeed quite easy to set up (I think autocorrect is a bit trickier). I'll leave that decision up to the super admins (the same topic is also discussed in another thread).
