I could never figure out why people read backward.
- In my life time.

Month / Day / Year - is the correct date format.

Does the setting in the usercp dateformat have control of this?

edit: Nope is doesn't. Looks weird to me. I'm used to m-d-Y

[Dreiko]

Well, is not like that everywhere o.o

For me, Day / Month / Year - is the correct date format x)

erm, that's a contradiction, as you are reading the dateformat backwards..

as year has 365 days and a month around 30 days either day/month/year or year/month/day is logical, but month/day/year is a random choosen order without a logical purpose...

Xenon sums it up. Ideally it should be year/month/day giving it a sense of 'aiming in' on the date. The American way really annoys me; if your looking at a site and don't know if its a US or UK site you can't work out the date e.g. '05/04/2004' it should be standardised

Thanks,

Exactly!! :banana:

I propose we improve on the American system and go even further in our quest for illogical date formats.

How about - y/d/m? You too could now have a birthday of 83/4/5
