Full Version: Date format suggestion
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I respectfully suggest turning to a consistent date format:

Please use either yyyy-mm-dd (recommended since backed by ISO) or dd.mm.yyyy (ISO reverse) but not zigzag yyyy-dd-mm as it is now. In particular using hyphens (instead of slashes) in said zigzag format is confusing and annoying IMHO since it leads on the wrong track.

I can live with the AM/PM notation though.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Walter,
I don’t see any date in the yyyy-dd-mm format but I’ve customized the date and time options in my profile.
On top of the page you have a link to your User Control Panel (User_CP), there with “Edit Options” you can customize the forum for you.
Here is a snapshot of my Date and Time options for dates in dd-mm-yyyy format and time in 24h format:

Thanks Massimo & Didier,

I must have overlooked those options. Problem solved due to your support Smile - just the ISO variant (2013-12-20) is not provided there.

Good grief, these formats use to be so easily differentiable: 2013-12-20 = 20.12.2013 = 12/20/2013
