Thanks for this link. I now know this vital piece of Information:

That on 14. Juli 2017, 02:40:00 GMT, exactly 1'500'000'000 seconds passed since 1. January 1970 00:00 Uhr GMT.


This is truly a good reason to start the «Quatorze Juillet» festivities for a change very early in the morning.

I feel that this thread can now be marked SOLVED.

Before Steve decides to add a Mayan calendar, and fuzzy time. "It's about a quarter to nine."

We are happy that you are happy. Happy, happy, happy.

We do try to please our members.

Ahh, this is wonderful

Now using the date and time formats which make the most sense to me: ISO date* & 24hr time.

It's just consistent with how we represent numbers in general... the further to the left a digit in a string of digits is, the greater its value is. Year-month-day and hours:minutes. Anything else just seems nonsensical IMO.

* Although in KDE's Locale settings, I represent the ISO date (Long Format) as YYYY SHORTMONTH DD SHORTWEEKDAY, because it just looks nicer that way to me. For Short Format, I keep it simple with YYYY-MM-DD.

Saw that. I PM'd you about documenting code changes. I already documented the other changes you made. But if you will take a look at the code and ensure that I did find them all.

Yup, thanks for the reminder. Fixing now.

The first notation is somewhat understandable: year, week, day, but the second not at all. But anyway, its a good joke, these unusual formats.

Having some fun. One more date format and two more time formats for you.

I'll stop now

I just added a fifth date option. The ISO format, YYYY-MM-DD. Heh, this stuff ain't so hard!

Hehe. Cool. We thinks we like this.

Splendid. Simply splendid.

Super!!!

Thank you Snowhog. This is much appreciated. And shows once more the professional way this forum is run.

Okay, I was pointed to a 'very old' MOD on vBulletin by SR which I took a look at. Simple enough to incorporate into our Forum, so i did just a few minutes ago.

Now, the Date and the Time formats can be selected at time of registration and by established members once logged on. Just click on Settings > General Settings and scroll down towards the bottom. You will see two new entries: Date Format: and Time Format:

Knock yourselves out!
