Date format in forum

I understand that you sell WHMCS internationally. The date format in the forums can be confusing. for example 04-03-09 is the 4th March or 3rd April.

Scrolling through a bunch of posts to remind myself which way round is mildly annoying. Any chance of replacing the month number with 3 letter month.

ie 04-Mar-09 or Apr-03-09.

 

Not really important in the grand scheme of things but would be helpful to see which posts are recent easily especially when coming from a search.

 

Cheers

My point was that I am UK based and we do the date format properly over here :-P dd-mm-YYYY. So when we visit forums that cater to our US cousins we have to think about the date format. Also we deal with nominet who use the YYYYMMDD format (makes it easier to do maths on) By putting the month in 3 letters would help me and as it is a UK based company I thought they may understand. It won't hurt anyone and just makes it clearer.

 

I am a member of a few forums, most are UK based and some are US based so continuously having to try and remember which forums have which date format is quite a chore.

WHMCS is also a UK company. I think you have to set the time up in your profile.
