We have made some more progress on the new site as a whole. If you have a minute, all feedback and testing would be appreciated -- see this thread for details.

The tentative plan right now is to lock these forums this weekend and switch all discussion to the new forums. We have a backup of this site coming, so we will archive it all and make it available for historical purposes. I know some threads must never be lost.

Now is the time to test the new forums and get your feedback in!

Bump. The lack of negative feedback is making me feel uncomfortable.

Sorry, haven't been using it all that much. My assignment at work this week is horrendously boring, so I'll try to test it out a bit more over the next few days while at work.

If you're itching for negative feedback right now, I don't like the date format it uses (at least for birthdays), its the European standard (dd/mm/yyyy) instead of what I'm used to. Change frightens me.

But I'm European, and I like it!

It also automatically includes a 'u' after the 'o' in numerous words, hope nobody minds.

I did notice that in the preferences, the only option is English (UK)....is there an English (US) option that can easily be added that might change these types of things? If it'd be a lot of work though, I don't really see a reason to bother.

There probably is a plugin for it...let me look into it.

I like dd/mm/yyyy It makes chronological sense. As much as time can make sense. But that is a critique menat for another discussion.

tou make suore everyoune is ok with motouring on the oppousite side of the road, that's why. :P

http://en.wikipedia....i/Calendar_date

Little endian forms, starting with the day
This sequence is common to the vast majority of the world's countries (see below for breakdown of countries by format). This date format originates from the custom of writing the date as 'the 16th day of November in the year of our Lord 2003' in religious and legal documents, which at one time were the majority of documents created. The format has shortened as more and more people learned to read and write but the order of the elements has remained constant.

Big endian forms, starting with the year
In this format the most significant data item is written before lesser data items i.e. year before month before day. This form is standard in Asian countries, Hungary and Sweden. It is consistent with the big endianness of the western decimal numbering system, which progresses from the highest to the lowest order magnitude. That is, using this format alphabet orderings and chronological orderings are identical.

Middle endian forms, starting with the month
This sequence is used only in the United States and a few other countries
The mm/dd/yy format is used in:

Belize
Canada (Although most official government documents use the yyyy-mm-dd format, the mm/dd/yy format is also understood due to influences from the United States.)
Federated States of Micronesia
Palau
Philippines
United States (civilian vernacular: mm/dd/yy or mm/dd/yyyy[147][148]; other formats, including dd Month yyyy and yyyy-mm-dd, are common or prescribed—particularly in military, academic, scientific, computing, industrial, or governmental contexts. See Date and time notation by country#United States.)
