It's not yet possible, but has been discussed extensively on the beta group (official suggestion box for the site.)? You could join one of the threads over there to add your support.

Hi Mark,
As Duane mentioned this topic has been raised as - HERE. Pity it's taking so long to change what I would think is a simple enhancement (but I'm no programmer (;>) It is a bit infuriating in my subject lines I have to preface with a European date to make sure the members of my Groups (amateur radio - and times - 24hr clock in Z/UTC/GMT) can recognise the date format correctly 01/06/18 - 1st of June or 6th January? Of course the 1st of June from our perspective. And a last, a lot of progressive on-line sites are starting to adopt the standard for dating format YY/MM/DD/M and no AM/PM just 24hrs. Cheers Jack(;>J |

Sharon,
The ISO is not common in the US. I started using a 6-digit format, eg 180424 back in the mid '70s because it fit well when formatting lists for computer terminals and printers that had tab stops preset every 8 columns. I knew we chose YYMMDD so that any dumb text sort on that column would be chronological. Little did I know that years later that would be an accepted short format in ISO-8601. Alas it was removed in 2004 (too much concern for Y2K issues?).. ? Most people associate with the military, and even worse with the militant white-supremicist groups that seem to think using the 24 hour clock makes them sound super tough and in the know. Yikes. The military yes, but I never heard of the latter. Ironic given that it is an ISO standard - "I" standing for International. My primary association is humorous - XKCD: On the other hand, even though my father was 30 years in the USMC and I have no problem using 24-hour time, I still think in AM/PM by habit. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |
开云体育Hi All, ? My choice in order of preference, best to least desired is ? 1.?????? 4/24/2018 or 2.?????? 4/24/18, or 3.?????? select a particular date format in the Group’s settings, then my vote goes to 4.?????? yyyymmdd. 5.?????? I’d hate to see yymmdd. ? Cheers, Bob S --- | Mark Corrigan wrote | | Hi Jack, Sal, Sharon and others, | | I'm ok with yymmdd, so if only one date format can be accomodated {sic}, this gets my vote. | |It would be much better of course to be able to select a particular date format in the Group’s settings. Surely it can’t be |that hard to include this functionality. | | Cheers, Mark ? ? |

Bob,
Mark has said pretty clearly that he won't be changing to a different single format. Rather an option for format would be added. I believe that it would be an account option (per member) like Timezone, not a per group option. -- Help: /static/help More Help: /g/GroupManagersForum/wiki Even More Help: Search button at the top of Messages list |

And I certainly would wish to set the Group's date and time format not have individuals set their own. Me thinks chaos would ensue from this idea - or am I missing something? Cheers Jack(:>J |

I'd hope that date format would work the same.
