    Custom date and time formats

    Any possibility of implementing this?

    To avoid confusion and annoyance for those of us who use a different format for everything else. Consistency is nice.

    Gotta be the same for everyone on the forum.

    Now I'm thinking of switching everyone to international format just to piss off everyone...

    Why does it have to be the same for everyone? Many other forums allow each user to specify a format.

    ok

    Well I'm okay with an international format then, if you want to go that route!

    Got kind of used to the M-D-Y date format at some point, though I still stumble across it pretty often and wonder for a moment till i remember "oh, wait, American format...". Same for 12h time format, though it's not that annoying.
    Haven't worked with vB for ages, but shouldn't there be an option for users to select their preferred date/time display format?

    I thought it was an obvious feature to include in any modern forum software but apparently not. It seems all I can do is change it globally.

    Hm, true... Just looked through several other forums that i visit every once in a while (and that all use different software), and only one had the option: the one based on phpBB... That's probably why i remembered there being an option for it.

    I'm all in favor of ISO 8601. I use that format for saving daily reports at work once I convinced the owners how much it organizes everything better. I would like to save in ISO week format for easier comparison of sales based on day of the week. However, since all the taxes and reporting have to be done by month, it makes things more difficult.

    Good way to force learning 24hr though.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?
