This is definitely a matter of aesthetics -- nothing more.
The profile page has always been cluttered by an abundance of repeating decimals that usually always result in stretching the page and killing the original table margins.
**excerpt from my profile**
Killed 750
Bonus Prestige 283.846344
Ships Damaged 38595.7819939999

Aside from looking ugly, I read 38595 or 38595.7 much easier than I read 38595.7819939999.
Killed 750
Bonus Prestige 283.8
Ships Damaged 38595.7
It looks so much cleaner and better presented this way IMO.
Anyway, just a ongoing thought ive had since 2002 I figured i'd finally suggest it now 
thanks

I know what you mean!
F5 in-game just has for e.g. Repair 9342.65 or 9342.6
I don't want to know how much .something of a figure I made.
I enjoy reading WHOLE numbers and not DECMIALS of things. Try this: Ships Damaged 5223.9 < or 5223.91? Sometimes given the exact answer is not always wanted.

Hey Jack,
Also in relation to player profiles.. i'm not sure if there is a width limit on the "home" cell for displaying your web address but it also streches table margins. Actually I guess there isnt much you can do to control that within the table since the string of text is too long and not spaced to produce returns. uhm, maybe moving it somewhere else? or removing it and adding it as part of signatures?

Just commited a change that'll display profile fields with two decimal places. Should also format them to be more readable (ie, 1,000).
About the home cell, there's not much I can do... I'd hyperlink some default text, but due to security I'd rather see the URL.
