[Suggestion] Make the birthday format (profile) editable

[IPBSupport.de]

Hello,

i have postet it as a bug a few days before (here) and now suggest it here:

Please make the birthday time format (profile) editable (with the time settings in the ACP).

Same for (all) other not editable time formats on the board (dont found other yet).

:thumbsup:

I can edit the birthdate via the ACP/selected member/profile. I can also change the time zone in the same screen. I am using 3.0.1.

Edit: I misread your post and see that you are talking about the format of the date/time fields themselves.

I think the OP means the format ... for example Americans/Canadians will use MMDDYY but in the UK we use DDMMYY

I mean the format, not the birthday dates :)

All time formats on the board can be change (ACP ~> System Settings ~> Advanced ~> Date, Time and Number Formats ~> Date and Time Formats) but not the birthday format... :ermm:

I believe I corrected my first reply with an edit.

The Canadian format is DDMMYY but many succumb to the American format.

I guess that comes from your ties with the UK. Try to resist those Americans.

Canadians are American's too. :)

I prefer the format of YYYY/MM/DD (or using -'s instead of /'s).

In business I use YYYY-MM-DD. On my board, I use DD-MMM-YYYY. For the time display, I use the 24hr display (military time for Wolfie)

@Wolfie: A Canadian is an un-armed American with health care.

I like my arms thank you. Without them, my hands aren't quite as useful. :D

I like the YYYY MM DD format because it's pre-sorted, LTR, so when sorting other things (such as files on computers/etc), it's as simple as reading it as it is. I also like the 24hr format as it eliminates a lot of confusion.
