If you click on the "User CP" link near the top of the page, you'll
go to the user control panel.
Then click on "Edit Options" halfway down the left-hand side.
One section of the edit options is labeled "Date and Time Options."
You can use the dropdowns to select whatever date and time
formats you want.
I think nguyenivy's concerns are much broader than this forum.
Correct. I changed that setting here a while ago whenever I established the account. Date/time format, units, & dialect are among the 1st options I change on new devices & software. The wider USA still uses 12h time, mm/dd/yy[yy] dates, and Imperial units even online where the content could be read by anyone the world over.
