Currently there are 3 different date formats used for:
- Join date within a post (Mon DD YYYY, e.g. Sep 23 2006)
- Join date on profile (DD.M.YYYY, e.g. 23.9.2006)
- Birth date on profile (M/DD/YYYY, e.g. 1/26/1989)

See screenshots below for reference:


Ideally there be one date format used consistently across the whole site. Perhaps it will even look different right now for others based on localization.

think the 7/8/2021 format in profiles is intended. much smaller to fit in the bubbly boxes

that kind of format in the postbit info would look funky because we've been used to the "Month, Day, Year" with no slashes for 2 decades. and the slashes wouldn't go that well with the comma from the post value too.

basically prrtty sure all of this is intended

edit: actually, Sep 23 2006 format fits fine in the bubbly boxes. so ignore that point. no idea

Sure.
Just makes sense.
As for the format, MMM / DD / YYYY or DD / MMM / YYYY is fine with me as long as the month is with letters that way anyone can figure it out.

Voted yes.

Join date within a post (Mon DD YYYY, e.g. Sep 23 2006)

Every single dates on this website should look like this in my opinion.

Well in this case I would vote in favor of a more international format, eg yyyy-mm-dd

Voted yes

The format for me to understand best is month(in letters) dd-yyyy. like your exaple (- Join date within a post (Mon DD YYYY, e.g. Sep 23 2006))

In my country we use yyyy-mm-dd

Bump

Anything in the form of Year-Month-Day is fine. Anything else is wrong.

I agree with this.

However, I'm unsure how the OP has his join date formatted in the way he does. Not sure if this is a profile customization based on theme, or due to language/timezone settings. My dates are consistent as a user from the United States.

This is what I see-
