QUESTION Changing date Format - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Cervantes · 09-22-2009, 08:00 AM

Currently the date for each of the postings is in a rather confusing format for me.. its MM-DD-YYYY, I've gone through the user control panel several times and I tried searching for a similar thread but can't find it.

So my question is this,

Is it possible for me to change the date format from MM-DD-YYYY to DD-MM-YYYY? And where, if it is possible, do I do that?

I took a quick look and don't see a way to change the format either. I suspect that if it's not something that's currently an option that we could work it in, but that it would require a good deal of recoding on our end. Cynthetiq probably has a better idea of how that would work, so I'll let him speak to that aspect.

Is this a "gee, it would be kind of nice if..." thing or more of a "I hate the way this is and won't come back if it's not changed" thing for you?

It's more confusing than anything annoying TBH, so yes its a "it would be kind of nice if..." issue for me. I'm used to the date format being in a certain way and most other forums I've visited this was an option you could alter to your own preference. But it's nothing "forum breaking" so to speak, I won't ragequit TFP if it isn't implemented :P

Thanks for the quick answer
