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'?

No, they won't. This bug only concerns formatting. If you want to be able to have dates written in a non-Gregorian calendar (and other types of numerals than the ones currently used), you'll have to suggest it.

Fair enough - I can imagine a few people would like to have alternative date formats, and/or dual date format displays. IIRC, there's a specific chunk of Perl or PHP coding that does it automatically.

By "it", I mean convert from Gregorian date formats to others.

Found it for Perl:

...and for PHP:
