Date and time formats? #date #time
|
ABD,
?
In Admin - Settings - Default Sub Settings, I have set Time Display format to "Military Time" and the Date Display to "YYYY-MM-DD" but this is apparently being ignored in my Calendar and is just using and posting US standard formats. ?
No.

It is your misunderstanding of what the Default Sub Settings tab does. It sets the default subscription settings for people who join your group. In the case of timezone and date/time format it only affects members who have not already set those. That is, members who've not previously joined other groups or set up their Preferences in their account.
?
To control what you see, go to the Preferences page in your Groups.io account.

ABD,
Thanks (though I would argue that my "misunderstanding" is a caused by a complete lack of explanation on the Settings page of what it does) ?
Fair enough.?And you're not the only one to misunderstand it.
If you'd like to suggest some wording to be put at the top of that page, the is Groups.io's official "Suggestion Box". ?

I see that setting MY preferences affects what I see. How do I set the date format and timezone for invitation messages to ISO and CET please?You can set Default Sub(scriptiion) Settings in Admin, Settings, Default User Settings. That may carry over to Invitations from the owner. Your own settings are under your name, top right, Preferences. Frances ? -- Help available from Groups.io help and GMF wiki. ? |

I don't believe there's a way to change them, but they by the settings that Francis mentioned. Duane -- Lots of detailed information can be found in the Owners Manual and Members Manual. |
