Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
I understand that yes, but when logged out, the default format is the US format which is a somewhat confusing change.

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
I honestly don't remember what the default was beforehand. I assume it was 24 hour clock and European date format, yes?

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
The new system, which allows logged in members to choose date and time settings, should only affect those who are logged in (I've double checked the code to be sure). So those who are not logged in should get the default vBulletin setting.
I've checked the database backup taken at the start of April to check what the setting was back then: it was m-d-y. If it has changed from d-m-y it was done at least a month ago.
I see no problem changing it to d-m-y if that's the majority view.

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
Choice is always a good thing, the default is the US date format which as I'm sure you agree some may find confusing... changing it is in fine if a majority clearly agree, but if not I'm happy to live with it.
It's weird that mm/dd/yy was the default... I must be getting old...

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
I find the US-style ordering confusing, yes. But surely it will be the same for people used to the US-style system if we switch?
