Need UK date format
I’ve probably asked this before, but is there a way to set the date format to dd-MM-yyyy which is the U.K. date format?
The thread post dates are showing in US date format (MM-did-yyyy) and this is a little confusing sometimes. |
I looked and all I can say is I tried to get the attention of a nice lady from Kent on another site but couldn't get a date in any format :(
@IBRyan Dr. IBRyan Stat! |
I’m still looking...and hoping!
|
That was my reaction as well.
Hang in there, hopefully the mention got his attention or I'll leave a sticky note on his refrigerator. |

Dr. Ryan, thank you for your help in matchmaking. I may finally get my beloved date!

If there is that change, maybe BF will also have to change the cost of everything from US dollars to pounds.
(Note: I am Australian, so the dollar is OK, but then I still have to calculate based on the US dollar being worth a bit more). :) |
Please, no, Rowan, the Canadians will be depressed.

Hi Ryan, unfortunately the date format displayed is still MM-dd-yyyy. For my locale, it should be dd-MM-yyyy.
It looks like there’s an option missing in the control panel and/or the forum software isn’t detecting my browser locale. Whilst I can set my time zone to London and the date stamps correctly reflect my location, the date _format_ is incorrect for me. So I think it’s one of two issues: there’s a missing date format setting in the control panel or the software isn’t picking up my browser locale. |

There is only one date format available on the software. Unfortunately it is not variable by user.

Time for ISO 8601!
Big to small: YYYY-MM-DD 24h:mm:ss +offset And it is very likely the date is already being saved like that in the forum software itself. |
This is the only time you need to know...date 30 Aug 1990

You haven't used vBulletin since version 3.xx over a decade ago, have you?
I'm sure they'll get a round tuit. I'm probably too young to understand at 32. /S I have been active on plenty of forums, lots of them more techy than this and more modern mediums. If you are active in places where there are a lot more nationalities running around than here, which seems to be a mostly US-entered forum, and come from a country where time and dates are written differently the options here seem confusing at times. |
I know that there is no 30th month, so I get it.
PS I used like version 1.0 of Jelsoft and Invision Power Boards and some sites I visit haven't changed their software in 20 years. Just because I started using computers at the age of twelve...that was late compared to the kids these days. And I know that biscuits came in tins as well. |
