dates

[Redshift]

This is a wierd one, is there a way to allow each user to set their own date format on vbulletin?

I just spent a good few mins getting confused by the crazy backwards US date system :P

I can indeed not find an option to change the way that dates are displayed. I'll have someone look into it.

As a European, I totally agree that it can be confusing as well as annoying having to both figure out, and remember, what date formatting is used. Especially if you use websites with the American format AND websites with the European format.

Redshift, it's apparently not possible to change the date format on an individual level. It can only be done globally, for the whole website, so I'm afraid you'll have to get used to the current format system.

so you give time in minutes seconds hours? It's not logical :P

The real problem is when you're looking at two posts, one made a month before the other, to a yank 06 07 2012 and 06 08 2012 is a day apart, europeans will read it as a month apart, and it's a subtle thing so you don't notice right away, hence you spend ten mins going "WTF" before you realise.

Thanks anyway code monkeys ^_^
