I imagine most will find my objection a bit trivial but I just hate the US format on the dates of posts (i.e. 11-23-2007). Can't see any way to change it in the options? BTW I'm using the Satellite Help 'skin' of the site.

Good point - changed to UK format.

Yep. I thought the same - when I came over from the other side lol, but was concerned that all the existing members who are used to it, may get confused.

Come to think of it - I never know what day it is anyway!

Thanks and glad so see you're using a.m. and p.m. (ante meridian and post meridian, or morning and afternoon in real money!!)

Ho. come on yorks It's wednesday.

Yorks · 25-11-07, 04:29 PM

Of course, I knew that. But is it a.m, or p.m?

diapason · 25-11-07, 04:32 PM

If it's dark it could be either - but if the big hand has passed 12.00 and it's still light, it's p.m.!!!
