May need to be more specific about what you're trying to do. Are you trying to edit the value, change a template?

yes but I want to change what that displays
Display format? Like 1K instead of 1,000?
for example, on this particular forum if a post gets 1,200 views it displays 1.2 B I want to fix that it should be 1.2 K

this also is not for your theme either
this is just for something else im doing for someone
You'd need a plugin for that (and there will already be one if it's doing it), you can't do that directly in the template. Unless it's being done by javascript.
Open
./inc/functions.php - add at the end:
function short_number($number)
{
$units = ['', 'K', 'M', 'B', 'T'];
for ($i = 0; $number >= 1000; $i++) {
$number /= 1000;
}
return round($number, 1) . $units[$i];
}
Open
./forumdisplay.php:
Find:
$thread['views'] = my_number_format($thread['views']);
Replace:
$thread['views'] = short_number($thread['views']);
Here is the function I use for the
Alpine theme.
