Hi there.  
I’d like to show exact stats on our ‘about’ page, that is not ‘3.2k’ but _exact number_.  
How can I achieve this?

The part of code that is responsible for rounding the number is a template, to be exact `/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/about.hbs`. In this file, you can get rid of number formatting.

However, please note that you can already see accurate numbers by hovering over a number.

I can’t find the thread now, but @Mittineague shared few months ago some CSS to display the exact numbers in the About page

```
section.about.stats span.number[title] {
 color: #FFF; 
}
section.about.stats span.number[title]::before {
 content: attr(title);
 color: #000;
}

```

EDIT: found [How do I make the about page show exact post counts?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-do-i-make-the-about-page-show-exact-post-counts/52296)

Why do you need to? Just hover your mouse over to see the actual number, this is always the case in the Discourse UI:
