Date format in the discussion forum:
Would it be possible to have the date in the international format (yyyy-mm-dd) or the month in words.
Just a suggestion. Thanks.

It is possible, but I guess everyone is comfortable using current format, so why we need to change?
Anyone else?

2 reasons:
1 - Date like 03.02.08 can mean either Feb 3 or March 2, 2008 based on the format one follows and hence the international date format of 'yyyy-mm-dd' avoids ambiguity. Having it as Feb 3, 2008 would cause no confusion either.
2 - Having timezone as Maharaj mentioned would be helpful.
Just suggestions to implement, assuming it is easy to do so.
Example: "03.02.08 15:09:06" could be written as "March 02, 2008 15:09:06 (EST)"
Thanks.
