If you head over to
User Settings, you'll notice a new date format entry. The way it works is a bit obscure but can be pretty useful, so I'll give a few examples here.
The basic idea is that you can put whatever punctuation connectors you want, along with the proper
format characters, to format it whichever way you like. For example...
m-d-y, the usual up to now, will show something like
12-31-05.
d-m-y would show
31-12-05.
You can get a bit zanier and do something like
m/d/y for
12/31/05,
or include times by doing
m/d/y H:i for
12/31/05 23:59or alternatively
m/d/y h:i A for
12/31/05 11:59 PM.
And if you REALLY have horizontal resolution to burn, you can even do
h:i:s A, F jS, Y for
11:59:59 PM, December 31st, 2005.
(note that trying to put 'on' in there won't work, nor will most letters)
If you add a time, it'll be dependent on your time zone setting in the forum; I'll get around to adding that to the user settings page sometime soon.
