IPBSupport.de Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunrisecc Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertMidd Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I think the OP means the format ... for example Americans/Canadians will use MMDDYY but in the UK we use DDMMYY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPBSupport.de Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 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: [quote name='RobertMidd' date='05 August 2009 - 04:17 PM' timestamp='1249481871' post='1838539'] I think the OP means the format ... for example Americans/Canadians will use MMDDYY but in the UK we use DDMMYY Yes! :cool: And we will use in germany DD.MM.YYYY :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian format is DDMMYY but many succumb to the American format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that comes from your ties with the UK. Try to resist those Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian format is DDMMYY but many succumb to the American format. Canadians are American's too. :) I prefer the format of YYYY/MM/DD (or using -'s instead of /'s).

sunrisecc Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
