Date Format ?

**Mondy** · 08-13-2003, 09:37 AM

Hi Eric, Wolf, et al...

Is there an option to change the date format on all the screens in the forum ? Only cuz I'm UK and the American format of month/day/year always confuses the hell out of me. I'm more of a day/month/year man myself, as I tend to say, "today is the 13th of August, 2003" rather than, "today is August the 13th, 2003".

If the option is there, can you point me in the direction of where to find it, cuz I'm too stoopid.

If it isn't there already, would it be too much of a pain to implement (and it would probably be only used by a handful of "Brits").

Have you played with the Display Prefs in your profile? that's all I know of to change that stuff around.

Ah, I guess that the date is hard coded then. Due to the line :

Current server time is: 08/13/03 10:33 AM
Choose your time offset in hours (..,-2,-1,0,1,2,..)

No worries. I just have to use my brain a little more than usual. Heh heh heh...

Same with me: DD/MM/YYYY (low to high) would be nice or YYYY/MM/DD (high to low).

But what the Americans do with their date format always confuses me very much. Specially in the first 12 days of the month.........

Anyway: Only look on the new posts. They are recently....
