[Qgis-user] Help with Composers

[DEREK Beddis]

Hi,
I have been working with QGIS 2.18.28 for the past 5 years, just had to buy a new desktop and when I installed QGIS 2.18, the site recommended me to instal QGIS 3.40 which I did, but unfortunately I couldn't understand it, so went back to QGIS 2.18. But on downloading my info I managed to get the raster project fine, then I opened the New Composer, transferred the map over OK, but when I entered the Composition details that was OK, but then I wanted to change the scale on the "Item Properties" and found a totally different system?
I used to be able to put in 50,000 or 25000, now it is a 10 digit number, which makes no sense to me?
I am totally lost, tried various things but getting nowhere.
I would like scales of 50000 down to 10000, how do I do it Please?

Thanks if anyone can help
