US dates on the left, UK date on the right. Threw me when I first saw it.

Edit: Clicky belowy forry biggy.

Also, the separators are different.

Looks like the one on the left depends on your settings. The one on the right should use your personal settings too.

That date on the right is hard-coded because I'm lazy.

It's not dynamic anyway... it's the date on which I implemented the view counter feature.

I'll change it to "2004/04/17" to make it less confusing.

It should really be formatted the same way as the other dates. Then again, it took someone this long to spot it.

That's more confusing for me.

Make it use one's settings.

I never knew the UK had speical format. The timestamps I always use using 0's in them.

It isn't about 0's though...

The difference is the order of the months and days.

05/24/2006 => mm/dd/yyyy => American format
17/04/2004 => dd/mm/yyyy => European format

How could that be confusing? It's yyyy-mm-dd. It goes from the largest unit to the smallest unit... very logical...

Edit: Anyways, due to popular demand, I have made the date format dynamic...

Oh yeh, just saw that. I looked for it before, but never saw it. lol all I can think about is this dam peice of coursework I a doing. I can't type probably on messenger at the moment. But yes, I always add the day before the month. WDZ, MyBB 1.2 hopefully should be out soon, and Chris has done alot of work on it (check his blog) small bugs like these are a reason to upgrade. But he is stealing your rep system.
