I didn't see anyone else reporting this, so...

Some of the time formats in account settings seem wrong.

"y-m-d h:i:s a" gives me a 24 hour clock + am/pm.

"y-m-d H:i:s" gives a 12 hour clock without am/pm.

I am using Firefox 38.0 in Linux, but I don't think that's the problem?

Thanks for adding y-m-d formats by the way.

Can confirm, using Chrome on Windows.

But who uses y-m-d anyways, I mean plz.

Wow it actually was wrong for many time formats. I mixed up H (24h) and h (12h) in some combinations. Of course whenever I use a (for AM/PM) I have to use h (12h). The formats in the settings are correct but the actual code wasn't

I changed that so it should be fixed now
(btw: this is all server-sided code, so the browser doesn't matter)

@ Seekay: It really depends on your country and on what people normally use there. I think the most fucked up date format is actually month day year because it's a horribly random order. medium unit (month), small unit (day), large unit (year)? But it's the most common format in some countries.

Yup, it's fine now. Makes me wonder for how long this was wrong. I mean, surely someone must have noticed it?

I never touched this code. So it never was right

Damn. So you are telling me this has been going on unnoticed for like a decade?

I thought y-m-d was added recently to the website? I remember checking the formats before, looking for y-m-d, but I didn't find it so I used some other format instead. I could be wrong, though.

Thanks for fixing it.

I'm not sure about this. I can't remember that I added it recently. It's possible but I don't think so.

FireFox and Safari actually do change it for you in some cases. Which then depends on the browser language (American does m/d/y, Dutch does d-m-y and English does d/m/y). Very fucked up. Safari doesn't even support HTML5 date picker, noobs

What? Are you sure? How do they even know which parts of a site are a date? Do they parse the whole text and act like "okay this looks like a date, let's change it!"? This sounds very odd... and bad. Browsers shouldn't change the content unless you install crazy plugins to do so.

Was messing around with browser testing on a shitty CMS we had to make for school a year ago, FireFox and Safari fucked up the datetime strings I echo'd. So they used to do it, might not do now. I'll ask for the code back from one of my teachers and see if it still happens.

I know for sure that some browsers don't accept date formats you put in RSS feed with JavaScript. So they definitely know how to fuck things up.
