Living in Finland but preferring the english (US) forum version I'm also troubled over the mm/dd/yyyy AM/PM time stamp format. All here in europe are! Selecting the German forum version is not a solution. Hopefully this is fixed soon. We give you slack - since you're still beta 😃
I suggest an international standard be used for all date formats. There already exists such a format. The International Standards Organization's, which is very logical, moving from the largest relative time to the smallest. ISO 8601 overcomes all of these ambiguous nonuniform conventions of various regions. Current time is indicated: 2016-08-29T15:13:30+00:00 YYYY-MM-DD-hh:mm:ss et cetera. Why more people haven't adopted an international standard that has been around for almost 30 years is beyond me. Geez, I wouldn't know if 11/10/2016 was November 10 or October 11. Just because that works for someone in their little village, doesn't mean it works for everyone else. Plus, the ISO 8601 ties in with most high-end time code devices I've ever seen. I have no idea why someone would think a German based company that's recently purchased a Japanese originating software program that has most of its sales in the US market should use a UK system that is nonstandard and illogical.
