This seems like something unintentional, but noticed it happening after the last update. Contract amounts no longer always display 2 decimal points, but rather cut off the zeroes (e.g. 13.00M displays as 13M, 13.20M displays as 13.2). It would make it much more readable to have the decimal always lined up with two decimal points.

That was actually intentional, I thought it made it look better.
I'm curious if anyone else has an opinion?
I think it makes it the table narrower and that's valuable, but I think it's harder to compare contracts to each other. For example, a 24M contract and a 2.4M contract look very similar when quickly scanning down a column, and both look to be a smaller number than a 5.01M contract.
I think this is a good reference for web table design: https://alistapart.com/article/web-typography-tables/
Also another thing, is that columns containing numbers should be lined up by decimal point and right-aligned for optimum readability as well.
Thanks!
That is a good idea, and the tabular-nums css feature would make it feasible...
