    Is there a way to change the date format on the main site from month/day/year to day/month year?

    Asking for the rest of the world. Thanks.

    I can't believe I'm such a huge nerd that I find great enjoyment in these topics. I don't know how to, sorry. :blobpopcorn:

    There is no way, though you're not the only one that would like it tbh.

    wtf thats dumb as shit.
    it should be possible to write a userscript for it, so how hard can it be for the server to do it

    Why would you want to change it to be wrong? Its super confusing when places randomly put the date wrong.

    Tony-chan probably felt it was a minor need and that her time was better spent developing something else.

    At least that's my guess on it.

    It is technically possible, albeit somewhat cumbersome. It requires browser plugins and some programming. Not sure how well it will work, through.. The plugin is called Greasemonkey if you are using firefox and Tampermonkey if you are using a chrome-based browser...

    The best way would be if nu gods just add a feature into the settings. It should be quite easy

    Easy by itself, but remember that these things add up, and tony-sama doesn't have that much time I think.

    Since I have no idea about the workload and other administration stuff of nu, I can only comment about the actual task. Depending on how this engine is built and how much whoever implements additional features is familiar with it, it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour. Also, it seems like a frequently requested feature and easy to implement. So maybe they should just do it?

    I think Tony has a design policy of "people don't like change" so he doesn't change unnecessary things. Perhaps we could design a better system to petition the great master tony-sama, but for now it's a futile cause I think.
