I live in Europe,


In my profile, my join date is displayed as follow: Day/Month/Year


And i don't know how to change it to : Month/Day/Year


Same for each posts dates, it's Day/Month/Year


The good option (the best imo) is to set the same date format everywere for everyone to avoid any confusions about dates.

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-

Thanks for posting this.

It seems like join date on profile picks up your locale settings (in your case you see my join date in profile in the US format whereas I see it in German format).
Date of birth seems to be hardcoded to US format and isn't considering the locale settings.

When I look at your profile it looks like this:


Seems like it is less of an issue for people from the US as they won't notice any difference. For people from countries with another date format this seems more confusing.

It should either have all dates displayed in local format or all dates in US format. Or a setting where you can choose :)
