Is there a way to set the dates to be shown as dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy? I've looked through the options but I may have missed something.

It is alot easyer to read.

Silly American system, isn't it Nate?

Damned Cultural Imperialists!

It could. My first thought was to create a seperate Language for English (UK) and have the date setting different, but I'd prefer to waste less processing power. I have an idea, so let me stew on it.

Please do so! I'm getting urges to start putting my garbage in a trashcan.

It is very tempting...

Lol! Things like that wouldn't change. The only difference we'd really see is the use of s instead of z in words like customise. As well as the use of u in words like colour. Which is why I'm not sure we should risk a greater CPU load for something so small.

And Don't forget center is centre in english.

Alcar 02-12-2005 04:20 PM
Okay, I decided to create a seperate Language afterall. I figure I can translate the small differences later on, but for now, the date issue has been sorted out. To use the new Language, simply go to the:

User CP > Edit Options > Forum Language

And then select 'English (UK)' from the drop down menu.

You should make a French one that changes 'the' into 'zee'. :p

That was pretty stupid.

Oddish 02-13-2005 08:33 AM
Cheers Alcar.

Rich 02-13-2005 08:39 AM
Cheers. I actually, truthfully appreciate this. :) You've done the most stupid, tiny little thing for a few whining Brits and Aussies. How long has it taken you to add it?

Alcar 02-13-2005 10:53 PM
Well, I could have added it over a year ago when vBulletin 3 was first publicly released. But no one complained, so I didn't bother :p

If you do make any language changes, make sure 'mom' becomes 'mum'.
'Mom' is the most hideous, ugly word I have ever seen in my life.

Is there anyway to make the dates the international standard ISO 8601? Today is 2005-02-14, which is infinitely more useful than 14/02/05.

We could, but then I don't remember every using yyyy-mm-dd in my time at School. It isn't really about making it Internet savvy, more so making it so that the people used to using dd//mm/yyyy don't get confused between the American mm/dd/yyyy.
