Change the date format

[Alexmahone]

I've been trying to change the date format to dd-mm-yyyy for a while now, but can't seem to figure it out. Could someone please help?

You should convert to the convention yyyy-mm-dd that way it is easier to sort by date (!!)

(No I don't know if vB will/does support it)

Why would it be easier that way? (I agree that either of these is better than the awkward American format.)

I believe this can only be changed, at the moment, at an entire forum level. Other admins: do we want to change the date format? If so, to what?

Because if day 1 preceeds day 2 then date1<date2. either numerically or lexigraphically.

Note leading zeros are never dropped, this is the ISO 8601 standard
