lol, I have made suggestions about the time formats before, but no replies.
Yeah, the mixed-endian format is confusing, and I can't wrap my head around this pm/am thing (I _always_ have to sit down and think, in order to find out when a posting was made). I wish it could be configured.

Do you mean the month-day-year instead of day-month-year? That's the standard in America, isn't it. Backwards from the rest of the world, like everything else they do

sorry, should have been more clear. I meant the normal thing to do, rather than an official standard. I normally tend towards yyyy-mm-dd personally, or yyyymmdd

Same problem , it is very confusing the m-d-y format.
Most forum modules allow setting dat/time formats on a per user basis.

Its all english-language, so named months instead of numbers would help.

These US-style dates are awkward for me too. Whenever I see a post that says 06-09-2008 I think it's the 6th of September, not the 9th of June. Is this a limitation of vBulletin?

You can change that in your settings. Its personal setting.

is there any way to fix the date format on the forum posts?
I don't see anything in User_CP.
Big-endian or little endian would be fine, if 4-digit years were used.
But if this stupid start-in-the-middle format is going to be forced, at least could
the month be done as letters to avoid confusion please? e.g. Sep-19-2008
thanks, Mike
