  • Re: Additional date formats?

    On 17 Jul 2023 at 12:50a, Sebastian Raase pondered and said...

    is there a possibility of using other date formats, such as yyyy-mm-dd or yy-mm-dd which are used in countries such as Sweden (following ISO-8601 somewhat), and dd.mm.yyyy or dd.mm.yy as used in, among others, Germany?

    The existing choices dd/mm/yy and mm/dd/yy are needlessly confusing to
    BBS users, especially in the beginning of a month.

    Best Regards,

    this will be a question for g00r00 when he is next active on the Mystic project.

    Hi Paul,

    this will be a question for g00r00 when he is
    next active on the Mystic project.

    Do you mean that I should directly address g00r00 instead of "All" when
    asking something like this?

    I'm very new here. :-)

    Best Regards,
    Sebastian
