Date format

[DanaLea]

Can someone point me in the right direction to change the date format for the forums? Being an americian, the day-month-year format keeps confusing me. I'm used to month-day-year format. for expamle today, 25-10-02 isn't such a problem, but a week from now will be 1-12-02 which to me looks like January 12th! I can set the local time, and the starting day of the week, but not the date format.

if this isn't possible, please let me know.

thanks in advance

DanaLea -

Your american date format is truly strange, If you don't have november at all...

[edit]: Apparently IW was faster.

[DanaLea]

no?

Stupid americans, the looks fine to me

Come on, girl...

Perhaps you just have to get used to the date format Poly is having. Like we all have.

And no, I don't believe you being anxious about the coming christmas. You made a mistake, and we started nitpicking. It's a common hobby at Poly. You could also get used to it too.

looks like I'll have to. been trying for a while now, but it's hardest on older threads, I keep losing track of when the posts were made!! it's hard to overcome cultural (what's the word I'm looking for here?!?)

oh the christmas thing was a joke. I just screwed up - it's a common theme with me...

And I have no problemwith the ribbing.. (nitpicking). none at all.

wanan know something ironic? becasue I spent 4 years in the military, when I'm not using numbers, i prefer the day month year format, as in 25 october 2002. it's the all number format that I can't get use to. ah well, I'll adjust or go crazy, one or the other!!

but he said this BEFORE he saw my picture, so he's making an assumpsion. An accurate one I hope.

gotta admit though, females seem to be few and far between around here. do they not post, or not play?

You should have continued with:

"far more prettier than males!"

then the sentence would have been perfect.

There are some females posting here. Look for FemmeAdonis, BlackWidow24, Tiamat & Boann... And I don't believe they are here for the games.

What is your excuse being in Poly?

wait a minitue.. I gotta have a *reason* to be here? aw man....

um, cuz I long for human companionship in a cold cold world?

actually, I came looking for things to imporve my game. tips, stratigies, graphics, mods, senerios.. found lots of info. now I'm kinda looking for info to create my own.

does that answer the question?

p.s. like your sig

As it turns out, worth it too.

A last estimate by Markos (the co-owner of this site) put the females at about 150, the males at about 20,000.
