Where is the option in "preferences" to allow me to display dates in a different format. I dislike US format.

I'm sorry my friend, but afaik, it is not possible

I also dislike it but take it as a matter of fact. Let's all demonstrate! We want non-US date style, We want non-US date style, We want non-US date style!!!

Where's my demonstrator flag gone. OH I used it for ... got desperate! (Times of need!)

That not US style. US style is 12/28/05. This has annoyed me before too. 2005-12-28 is the only acceptable format.

Really, who's responsible for the default date format used by the forum? The current setting is the worst of all worlds, it's neither US-American, Japanese nor European or whatever. What makes me really angry is the use of hyphen in the date. The only date format which uses hyphen is ISO 8601 which is "The international standard date notation" and looks like 2006-08-10. In many countries it has already replaced the former official local date notation. In other words, everybody should be using it:

Unfortunately, since this forums exists, this is no longer true:
"can not be confused with other popular date notations"

Thank you very much.

Thanks for changing the format whoever did it. I'd still prefer ISO 8601 but at least the current format is readable and unambiguous.

The extended european format seemed to have the greatest popularity & was thus chosen.

Europeans have music, good music; but also africans, north americans, asians, south americans, etc. There are many non european items missing in the genre format for searching music with Lime Pro and would like to know if there is a way to insert in the list a cople of extra items.
