Forum Date order

[evanh]

Here's a nice small improvement. In each topic list on the forum there is a convenient date stamp for each topic. I use this a lot and it would be easier to read if the order of the numbers in the date portion were sensible, like dd/mm/yyyy or dd MMM yyyy.

Why a UK forum would use the US standard for date formats is an interesting one, but the ideal solution would be to use the ISO standard YYYY-MM-DD which has been a harmonised pan-European standard for years now.

In Australia we use dd/mm/yy or yyyy.
As far as I know in the US they use mm/dd/yy.

Confuses the hell out of us.

All the more reason to use the ISO standard YYYY-MM-DD. There is no confusion over day/month order and chronology is kept correct even when sorted alphabetically.

There also seems to be an issue on this forum with the time stamp when the minutes value is a single digit. I'll stand corrected but I'm quite sure that a post made at HH:03 will be listed AFTER a post made at HH:20 because HH:03 is shown as HH:3

Not also that post times and edit times use two different time formats, 24-hour and AM/PM
