European date format

[grahamleggat@ya]

Hi

How do i set the date format to european style?

At the moment its set to MM/DD, ie 9/1 for 1 September, but in europe we use DD/MM or 1/9.

thanks in advance

it currently doesnt work too well in 3.0.x... It should be set automatically based on the location and language

hi neilm

I thought it must be to do with v3, coz i never noticed it before. Is this a bug or is it in the process of being corrected?

[nielm]

I have reported it, some others have too...

Why would you silly Europeans want to confuse people making them think that September 1st is January 9th? <just kidding, not a flame>

yeah and everyone knows that there are no more than 12 hours in a day too

My job is as a Firefighter and everything there is dispatched in 24hour "military" time, so I'm used to a 24 hour clock after 18 years as a FF. <right back at ya!>

Ha Ha !

Its a bit like my language English. As a Londoner born and bred I have to put up with selecting "English (American)" or "English (International)" when installing software, for example.

My language is "English" and not a variation !

Next minute you yanks will be calling the language "American" and I will have to select "American (English)"

Not if you "blokes" figure out how to spell things like "color", "flavor", etc. Over on that side of the pond you seem to love sticking extra "U's" in every other word.

Of course over here on this side of the pond we have problems within our own country with all the different dialects. Down south when you're talking to someone they are "y'all", and if you're talking to a group of people they are "All Y'all". Up here in the North "Ayah" may be substituted for "Yes".

Those extra u's find there way into English north of the border too! I feel your pain... I'm having to select a different english too...

Hi neilm

I am using v 3.0.11.46. I am very surprised that this still shows dates in US format. Was there any fix date given to you?

Thanks in advance.
