Any chance of changing the date format used on this support site from the (benighted) US format m/dd/yy to something less ambiguous please (you will know that Europe uses dd/mm/yy(yy) which leaves a lot of room for error eg for 1/2/2015 are we discussing the 1st of feb or the second of Jan) Lots of sane choices are possible Thanks

This forum uses a datetime attribute that makes it possible to style the date and time any way you want. A possible bookmarklet:

javascript:(function(){var d=document,e=d.querySelectorAll('time[datetime]'),A,D,E,T,i;for(i=0;E=e[i];i++){D=new Date(E.getAttribute('datetime'));T=D.toLocaleString("en-GB");if(!/invalid/i.test(T)){E.innerHTML=T}}})()
