Hi there,

I noticed this site seems to be using the US-specific formatting for dates:

Which makes it confusing for people in other countries, who'd be expecting a French-site to at least be using European formatting.

I suggest either using DD/MM/YYYY or sticking to the unambiguous YYYY/MM/DD format, because I bet a lot of visitors are going to have no idea what date 03/06/2007 really refers to until they see something like 05/24/2007.

(Did I mention the US format makes no damn sense? Just putting that out there)

I'm french and in the forum (with the french speaking version of the site), I look the dates with the french format DD/MM/YY.
Perhaps this format is specific of the english version of the site, that is meanly visited by US people.

Yeah, probably. In which case they need to acknowledge that the US isn't the only non-French speaking country in the world. >_>

I didn't know, thank you

Is it ok now?

Yes, that's much better and more obvious for the reader. ^^ Thank you.

To be honest, I hate the DD/MM/YYYY and MM/DD/YYYY notation since it's hard nowadays to know which is which if the day is less than 13... I use "June 3rd 2013" or 2013/06/03 instead.

Merci!

You're 300% right, thank you again!

The writing format of the year start with the millenium, followed by the century, followed by the decade, followed by the year.
From longest to shortest.
So, the most logical is to follow with the mounth followed by the day.

But I don't know land that have this format in its tradition.

The year already encapsulates millennia, century and decade.

It's what I said.
