Show thread date on first page

**cessna152towser** · 17th February 07, 11:12 AM

I'm with Robertson on this one; for example the Kilt Do's and Don'ts thread started a long time back and runs to many pages but when there's a new post added I always like to revisit the last page and read it. The only thing I find a bit confusing is having the month shown before the day, in the posting date, for example 02-10-2006 will always suggest second of October to me rather than tenth of February, but this is an American based forum and that's the American order of displaying the date so I'll just have to get used to it.

I am an American and work in America. I've had to get used to (due to the computer related field I work in) to seeing dates displayed as MMDDYY (the american standard), DDMMYY (the Canadian / European / REST OF THE FREAKING WORLD standard) and what they are now calling the COMPUTER standard of YYYYDDMM.

Too d*&n confusing if you ask me. DDMMYY is my favourite. As in 17 February 07. Just my two cents worth.

Actually, the forum is capable of displaying the date as 02-17-2007, February 17 2007, 17-02-2007 or 17 February 2007.

Yeah, that will work, and let's go to the military 24 hour clock too. Now let's see, is it add 12 or subtract 12?

24 hour time format is also available.

Ohh can we go metric time> 100 minutes an hour, 20 hours a day, 10 months a year. I think that that would end all the confusion.
