Is it possile that time and date format will be changed to European? hh:mm in 24 hour format and date in dd:mm:yyyy format? I just wonder from which part of the world comes most of the users... Regads, Jacekpro

For me it is new too and at the moment a little bit confusing. As specially when I'm switching between the german spoken conferences and the english one. Our users came from all over the world. What are others thinking about this issue? Best regards CS Moderator

Anatoli has a point because its easy to sort ( even if you 'consider' the date as a string) I think date/time formats must be the most frustrating thing for programmers .I always get complaints about this ,ie winter time summer time , short long notation.searching in a database on date is a monster. Greetings Eric

When I moved to US I had such a tough time getting used to it. (Actually not just time, other units such as mile, feet, F, lb, oz there is no end toit).Also had tough time explaining this date format to others when I had to use my passport or other documents with date.
