RE: Welcome to our new forum! Feedback here!

I had a similar issue a few moments ago, looking at "My Activity" under my Profile. Just went back to see whose name it was, and now my own name and information shows again. Weird.

Figured I'd post the proof.  Logged in as me.

It happened to me again just now (and I have a similar screenshot to prove it, if it helps admins). I clicked on "My Activity" and got that. Then I clicked on "My Profile", got my own information, then clicked on "My Activity" and got my own.

Whoever has this happen, please try clicking on the eshop link at the top of the page and confirm you see your account and not somebody else's. If so, the single sign-on is a huge problem.

WOOT!  PRIVATE MESSAGING is back!  Check your profile page.

 ... hmmm ... now, how do I find a person to address it to ???

Well - I figured it out... it has an embedded lookup tool in the conversation member box: start typing a name and it provides guesses.

On the forum pages (when you are logged in) there is a small envelope icon under each poster's avatar. This will take you directly to messaging that person:

RE: Welcome to our new forum! Feedback here!

I have (yet another) user configuration enhancement. I want to be able to change the formatting of the display of dates and times. What I do see is US standard date formatting as MM/DD/YYYY. For example, here is the date code for my post, above:

Seeing that this is a board hosted in Europe, I have no idea why it would be using US formatting. Unless, the system makes guesses as to what I want to see based on my selected time zone (New York Time). I'm not familiar with Wordpress, is that a Wordpress thing?

I prefer to use ISO-8601 style dates with 24hr clock. Basically the extended format (includes delimiters), but with the "T" delimiter between  the date and time as a space. So the above date/time stamp would be "2019-11-05 13:51". Much easier for me to immediately parse, and currently very important to help find the first unread post in a thread since unread posts are still currently not indicated in anyway that I can discern.

That is not US format - that is Euro format - DD/MM/YYYY that you're seeing. Being the site is built on WordPress, it is unfortunately a "global" setting, and not something that each user can set their own.

Damn... You're right. I use the ISO-8601 format so much that I misread other formats... But at least the format that is being used makes sense in my head now.

Sucks that WordPress dumbs things down so much the users loose individual configurability.

Posted : 12/05/2019 1:55 am -- DD/MM/YYYY is not a US format. 

In the US we commonly use MM/DD/YYYY = 05/12/2019

On my computer I prefer YYYY/MM/DD - it helps with the natural sort the file system uses.

 

ps: oops  missed an interim post that says the same thing ... lol.

Which is why Pi Day and May the Fourth Be With You never gain international traction. There are a lot of "magical dates" that we only care about (and make up) in the US.

I've started date stamping all my files with YYYYMMDD at work. It annoys people but it's nice to be able to sort by filename if the timestamp gets hosed.

Well, luckily Pi day (and, incidentally Tau day) still work with ISO-8601 (YYYYMMDD)

Except for that annoying "2019" at the front... I guess. 😀

I am ok with DD-MON-YY or DD-MON-YYYY for a date, but the month should be JAN, FEB, MAR.... The number dates can confuse.

I've posted this above my desk at work:

https://xkcd.com/1179/

But getting back to my original sub-topic in this thread, unfortunately my request to allow the user to specify the date (and time) format is likely to be unsatisfied because of the underlying engine of the forum (Wordpress). Chalk this up as yet one more reason why the conversion to Wordpress has become problematic.

Honestly, the date format is the least of the issues with this forum software.

As far as I can tell you are not logged in as another person. It's just the link that is messed up.

It's like clicking on someone else name here in the forum.

:Enter blood curdling scream to gain the forum Go'ds attention:

Please change the default media insert attribute to LINK TO: MEDIA FILE instead of LINK TO: NONE.

This setting does not affect forum storage requirements, and will definitely help forum users conduct the business of helping one another.
