Hi all, I happened to notice the default date format of our forums which can be very ambiguous on certain dates.
You see, some countries write month-day-year, other cultures write day-month-year. See them on a map!
Consider a day like December, 11th - how would you tell if this is actually meant or rather November, 12th?
I would vote to switch the forum default to a more unambiguous way. For example, in my last example here, there can be no wiggle room.
I don't think we need the name of the day at all, at all.
This would leave us with three unambiguous choices. Below is the full list for your reference.
edit: Please note, this is only deciding the default value. Every user may switch to her personal favorite anyway.
