Broker Bug?

You can ignore this bulk as it is just the story of what happened with me. Skip to the bottom paragraph for the brief bug description.



I was under the impression that the maximum amount of naq allowed to broker was 999 billion (999,999,999,999)
Well I go to set up a broker of my 2million uu for 1.26 trillion. I enter all the nines I can presuming that it will be 999 bill, then update. It then shows me the figure of 999 trill (<I am not 100% sure if this figure is correct as all my brokeres are full and I cannot test, but it was in the region of 9.99 trill and 999 trill (depending on how many figures it accepts)...
i pressed the back button and redid the broker for 1,260,000,000,000 (1.26trill)
Well I was like ok cool. I check my brokers only to find the bloody thing says (my) 2,000,000 Untrained for (his) 12,600,000,000 Naquadah...<---missing three zeros there.
I presumed I did the broker wrong so sent another one making the difference of naq. I brokered him for 1,247,400,000,000...it now shows as 12,474,000,000 Naquadah in my broker page. <--Still missing three zero's
The guy went offline just as I was setting the broker so he hasnt accepted so i have no idea if it will in fact give me the whole 1.26 trill or if it will only give me 12.6bill.



Setting a broker for 1,260,000,000,000 (13 figures) only shows as 12,600,000,000 (11 figures) in my broker menu.
In the broker setup screen it let me put the whole value of 1.26 trill, went onto the next stage of confirming the broker showed it correctly (13 figures) but when the broker is set up, it only shows as 12.6 billion.
The broker has not been accepted or rejected yet so I do not know if it is only a small bug with my broker display or if it does infact change the amount i brokered down from 1.26 trill to 12.6bill.

I will update you when the guy is online to see if i get all my bloody resources lol.

bump for urgency

the broker allows you to enter in something like

123,456,789,123,456,789,123,456,789... but if at the end process it wont work then its a problem :)
