    "normal" dateformat instead of american format

    normal is perhaps "tricky"

    I was looking into the my settings for this site and i was hoping to find near the selectionbox for the timezone, a possibility to choose between a format "MM-DD-YY" or "DD-MM-YY". The american way is sometimes confusing me.
    Does that option exist ?

    Thanks.

    Wouldn't it be nice? However, getting the tech team to correct serious issues is hard enough, so getting them first to find out if this is possible and then to implement a change would be nigh on impossible.

    I'll ask, but do NOT get your hopes up!!!

    The tech team tell me that there is no option available to them to make this happen. Sorry.
