In the UK this  should be 04/07/2016.

How do I fix this?

You can change it in your: acp >> customization >>languages >> select your language

Search to date.

(I've done it this way, check also your mobile version if you are done if all is well)

It uses the language's locale by default. You only need to do all the fancy settings if you want to override the defaults.

I must say on the date/time display it's a massive shame I can't edit how the date/time is displayed. In busy topic, there's going to be no end of posts that say 1 hour ago, 2 hours ago etc but no specific time. Today,  09:49 PM is better.

After a upgrade (not sure witch ones) it was on US style by my Dutch language. 

At that moment, nothing was translated in my Dutch translation. 

This was the only way to get it right for my.

I agree fully with this.

We sometimes have upto 1000 replies in a topic during one day, if someone looks back at the topic and wants to read posts from 3pm - 5pm how can they do this when all it says is June 6. No ones going to hover over the date link page after page to find the time of the posts
