Suggestion for "Screenshots of the Week" date formats?

[Red_Rattler]

Add: I'm having internet troubles (yet again), so may not be able to change the title, but also applies to any threads that need a date as part of the title.

Could I make a suggestion that with the date format for Screenshots of the Week, that instead of using the number format, to use the first three letters of the month, eg either 10 Oct 10, or Oct 10, 10?

The reasons are obvious of course, but for the younger people, and people may not know for example 10 / 3/ 10 could mean either 10th March or the 3rd October, depending on what number style your country uses.

Using a three letter code for the month, it wouldn't matter what way it is written.

Not a bad idea I would say use the September 26th 2010 method :Y:

Good idea, Rattler. I'll change that up for next week.

We can use two differente wat to write a date. One is from general to little, like 2010.09.27 ou vice-versa: 27.09.2010 (?). Cheers, JP

Great idea.

Let's have the written month, not a number, then there should be absolutely no confusion - regardless of order.

Cheers
