Date Format In LAST POST Column
The date format used to be like Sun Jun 09, 2019. When the forum migrated something changed. I'm just now realizing that I get the format just described (which I want) only when I'm logged in to the forum. When not logged in I see like 2019-06-09. What's goin' on? Can this be 'fixed?' Thanks.

Re: Date Format In LAST POST Column
When not logged in, the date format is set to international (ISO) format yyyy-mm-dd.
If you want personalized dates, make sure you log in.
This was done to provide as little confusion as possible for visitors who do not use English and/or do not use a month-day-year date ordering (i.e. everyone but the USA)

Giraffe, the date format is and always has been set the same, the way I want it. Thanks.
Thanks, Moonchild. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but if that's it, that's it.

Re: Date Format In LAST POST Column
Yeah, unfortunately for you it just means you'll have to log in or remain logged in.
With a pretty strong increase in non-US users of the browser, using an international date format for guest visitors seemed to me like the best choice.

I am good with either ISO or US date format. Indeed, I prefer ISO my self because it just isn't ambiguous.
MM-DD-YYYY and DD-MM-YYYY both can be easily confused half the month every month. So YYYY-MM-DD is always good. Also nice for file sorting even for http auto index and bash where there aren't lots of special cases in a system for natural sorting routines.
