O.P. News Page: I am not being picky but...
Well, it appears that since this news entry in main Plus! site, the date of a news entry is in the form of DD/MM/YYYY (like 27/11/2004 standing for Nov. 27th 2004). But before that, it was MM/DD/YYYY (also as in previous page). The inconsistency may cause some misunderstandings... :S


Blah, I should get to sleep, it's 1:15 am here :dodgy:

To those who use the D/M/Y format, yes. For those who use M/D/Y format it will look strange.

Either way, what Mnjul means is that it should be the same, one or the other....

How about having the month abreviations written in... this way you can't confuse 'May' with 05 or Feb with 02

YYYY/MM/DD is the standard, so go figure

Why not just "12 Dec 2004"? :-/

Actually, it's:
YYYY-MM-DD
Causes less problems in data processing.
