Time/date display for comments

[sharpiefan]

Being British, I don't like the way that the date in comments in my journal is displayed the American way, with the month first. Is there any way of changing it from '10-24-2010' to either '24/10/2010' or '24th Oct 2010'?

The date-time is in US format on view-recent (for me, anyway, as a US user), but not on reply mode pages or on individual comments themselves; those flip to UK format.

I've got the exact reverse: I'm a UK user. Entry dates display in UK format, but comment dates flip to US format.

I don't get it. At all.

It's not specific to DW, if that makes it any better (how it flips for UK and US users might be specific to DW, but not the rest of it)...I just checked, and the behavior is exactly the same on LiveJournal. Which makes it an old, old bug (perfectly ancient, in fact).

Entries in my LJ are set to display the UK format - and comments to those entries in my LJ also display the UK format. Which is exactly what doesn't happen here on DW.

Though I can't say as to the rest.

Well, I'm not sure what layout you use on LJ, but I checked s2_bloggish and it displays the date/time in US format on entries and in UK format on comments and in reply mode.

I'm a UK user and the initial post has the date listed as Oct. 24th, 2010 18:52.

Your comment is listed as 2010-10-24 23:25 (local).


Personally, I'd prefer dates to be listed as dddd/mmmm/yyyy, e.g. Monday 25th October 2010.
