I registered in the future...

[Cradle22]

Hi!

I just checked out my own preferences page, and noticed that my registration date at diyaudio is going to be the first of September this year 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

This is something I always wanted to do: Living in the future! Learn about my future wife (errr make that girlfriend... 😉 ), about my career opportunities, about the Lotto numbers...


Oh, I just noticed... maybe it's just an error in the message board scripts... no future for me...

That just about ruined my evening! Going drown my sorrows now...




G' night...

I think the forums uses another date format:
MM/D/YYYY instead of what we are used to: D/MM/YYYY

You swapped the month and the day.😉 😎

/Hugo - anything better than living in the past...

It's odd....

Australia and the rest of the world mostly use day-month-year (DDMMYY).

So why does the forum use the US format?

Must be US-software or settings.

I have seen some Japanese stuff that uses YYYYMMDD. e.g 2003/05/17 19:46:27 including time. MSB to LSB just like ordinary numbers. Much better idea I think.

/Circlotron - lives in land of 240v 50Hz, right-hand-drive cars, and lotsa diyers.

YYMMDD is the standard Japanese format for western dates. 🙂

Cheers,

Yes it's US software .. I was recently thinking of given each user the option to change to the Australian format .... maybe if I get some time this week I might do it.

It's just more evidence of the monolithic, imperilistic American's domination of the world. Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated. 😀

Thats aggravating, when you preview the post the attachment gets cleared. I guess this world domination thing is a little more complicated than it looks.

Considering the Brits now have half the world speaking their language, I would think they would be the last to complain about having to do something the other guy's way. 😉

Kelticwizard,

It wasn't a complaint Merely a quiery. It caused me no trouble - I'm quite used to internet forms that insist on me entering my zip code to do anything, and insisting on a middle initial, of which I have none It's the way of the world

Happy domination 😉
