Parley Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 (edited) It is probably worth updating the date format on posts to use Australian rather than American formatting. This might just be the regional settings on your server causing this. eg. instead of 4/15/2017 format to 15/4/2017.

MaggieMay24 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Mine comes out dd/mm/yyyy, perhaps check your computer settings? I didn't quote your post since it comes up as "7 hours ago, Parley said" but I've copied in a quote from Cerberus below as an example.

NicF Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It must be a local setting as mine show as dd mmm yyyy, so on the quote Maggie May used above it shows 26 May 2016.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had brought it up with @Cerberus1 a while back as I have the same issue on my computer. I use Chrome on the iMac. I know it was being looked in to but there may not be a solution to it. Apart from using a different browser.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to try to embrace these sorts of things I think The Australian format happens to be the same as the UK (and a large part of the rest of the world too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country ).

I'm intrigued now so I'll have to try and trawl through all the settings to find what is causing it. Edited June 12, 2017 by Parley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find a solution, let us know I just grrr at it as I don't really want to have to go poke around and try to find a fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have solved it with a little help from googling the problem (and you suggesting it is part of Chrome). To fix it in Chrome. Open Settings, then click to show advanced settings. Go to Languages section. Click to add a new language, you need to add English (Australian). Position it to the top of your list of languages after adding it and remove the other languages below it. Get your settings under languages to look like this and it will fix the issue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicF Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I'm now on Chrome on the Mac and the date's on quotes are now showing as yyyy-mm-dd, which is better than American format but still confused me to start with. I've checked the settings (thanks @Parley) and they are Australian English. Think I prefer safari on the ipad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parley Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 Mine is correctly showing DD/MM/YYYY now after making the change. That is the area that seems to control it so you might still have a slight glitch with your settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
