Display of dates

Community & Events
1

Ok, this is a small thing, I admit. But I find the way these forums display dates to be confusing:

Apr 17
Apr '16
Apr 17, '16

Ok, I get it, they are all distinct, and if I read them closely I can parse each one correctly. But, boy, is it an effort to do so. The ability to glance at a date and understand it is out the window.

Is it possible to configure Discourse to provide a more standard set of dates:

17 Apr
Apr '16
17 Apr '16

Or even better:

17 Apr
Apr 2016
17 Apr 2016

That would be a lot easier to read (quickly).

Almost - look above your post at the ‘created’ date on jzw95’s post… still in nasty 'mercan format.

I’m not 100% sure what you’re seeing there, could you please post a screenshot?

You’ll need to refresh the page in order for the change to be displayed.

It’s changed now… but it was still at Apr 18

This has made me unreasonably happy. Thanks for pulling the right strings @alexs. (See what I did there?) :wink:

Seriously, this makes it a lot easier to orientate myself when looking at old threads/posts. I notice it’s fixed the tooltips, too. Great stuff.
