Forum date-format
 

I've looked through my options settings but can't find anything to make the date format sensible (ISO would be best YYYY-MM-DD): at the moment I look at posts with dates like 10-12-2013 and think "that's a reasonably recent post to which I could reply" when it is actually October, or 01-02-2014 and think "oops, it's February already".

I suspect this is this to do with the forum showing my language as "English (US)" and thus using the US settings for dates. Is it something you can fix at your end?

This post will, naturally, appear to take place on the 1st of September....

Only to you. It looks just fine from where I live. :O:

I looked and couldn't find a way to change it. I'm hoping someone will know better.

Not possible as far as I am aware so you and me both will have to put up with the 'american anomaly' :)

I'll put my colonial-vision spectacles on when viewing the site. Those poor merkins.

Me too :)

I AM A PROUD 'MERICAN!

Or a braggadocios YANK pistolero with a serious side of 'thin-cut rashers' & sunny-side up!:O:

Thats Bacon!

Guns and Bacon! My personal mantra...

America!

Ah...that'll be "nothing could be finer, than to have your ham an' eggs (and gun) in Carolina"

You might NOT want to google for "14 famous merkins" by the way. At least, not at work.

Proper attire for breakfast
 

Precisely! "Moons over my Hammie" (senior discount) breakfast with short stack at the Denny's 24 hr., in my Kevlar, with the Beretta .9mm on my hip and back-to-the-wall boothseating...haven't tried seasoning eggs with the pepper-spray yet.:Kaleun_Sick:Has to be Denny's...they closed Sambo's...not PC!:Kaleun_Crying:

Yes, we were much more sensible in England and Scotland, especially with the old Pounds, shillings and pence that I grew up with in England*

4 farthings to the penny
12 pennies to the shilling
20 shillings to the pound
1 pound and 1 shilling to the Guinea (not used as coinage but still used for the price of horses).

Also,
tuppence (2 pence which is also a half a groat)
Thrupenny bit (3 pence)
Sixpence (6 pence)
Florin (2 shillings)
Ha'penny (1/2 penny)
Half Crown (2 shillings and 6 pence)

Crown (5 shillings) - we still have them, but they are 5 pounds now.

* yes, I mean originally England: Scottish was roughly the same but with the merk (13 shillings and 4 pence, a handy two-thirds of a pound) until one of the unions (Crown, I think)
Plus:-
bodle (two pence)
plack (four pence)
bawbee (3 bodles)
shilling (2 bawbees, which was an English penny)
1 Scots pound (20 English pence)

We've sorted all this out now, so that we have decimalisation....except for pints in pubs. Oh, and Miles per hour and distances. And heights and clothing sizes. Oh, and the weights of human beings (14lbs to the Stone). Ah, and nails and screws.

And curtains come to think of it.

Oh the memories :)
