hello! long time lurker, first post, etc.

May I humbly request the numbers in the forum overview pages be right aligned, e.g. number of views and replies, for easier scanning? Same with adding thousands separators, e.g. "1,299,128 views" is easier to read than "1299128 views"

yes this seems reasonable!

FWIW, the forum landing pages are some of my least favorite, design-wise, so I expect that i'll be pushing out a redesign as the next major thing i spend my time on. there's a lot of whitespace that we could use for more meaningful information (like who posted last with a link to the last post for example), and the mobile layout of the page just kinda sucks.

this suggestion will definitely make it into the next pass of updates though!

just added the commas - stayed tuned for a bigger update around the forum landing page refactor. i think we can just make the whole page look better overall
