Date formats

[darkdante14]

Can I change the date format on this site? I can't find it in User CP.
The sites default date format is MM-DD-YYYY but it's hard for me to adjust to that because where I come from we always use DD-MM-YYYY format.

I believe the only settings are time zone, daylight savings, and first day of the week. No option for date arrangements, I believe.

It would appear that the option to change date format is unavailable.

Hmm, that's shame then. I saw a post today and the date was 08-09-2011 and I thought: 'Holy Smokes a post made in 8th September 2011? '

But you've been a member for over a year, why are you suddenly confused by the date format?

Because until recently this was the only forums I used. I've never liked the date format but didn't care enough to bother try changing it. Recently, I've joined couple of other forums and you can change the date format there.

Just looking for this, most of the world use DMY and it's more logical (You wouldn't read time like mm:hh:ss or hh:ss:mm - with seconds displayed obviously)

Of course whenever the day is 13+ it's easy to understand but below that can get confusing, regardless of the fact this forum uses that format by default people will read it the way that is natural to them
