Date in US format in quoted text

Question

I've just noticed that when someone quotes a post, the date in the header is presented using US format mm/dd/yy rather than the expected UK format dd/mm/yy .

This may be intended behaviour, but for me it seems wrong for a UK - oriented site. Comments, questions, thoughts?

Quoted just so I can check

You now only have to wait a week or so for the date to be displayed..! xD

Looking back to previous posts, the date I see in quoted paragraphs looks correct (European-style, dd/mm.yyyy...).

... and strangely enough the date format's fine for me too.

Surely there's something profoundly weird (if fairly trivial) going on if I can see a UK date format in this thread but a US date format in another? O.o

Moreover, notice the difference between Douglas's screengrab and mine? No?

Douglas's shows Pete's post time as 17:32. Mine shows it as 16:32.

Douglas is in France so he's on CET and therefore one hour ahead.

I think this might be a browser issue in that case, I'm still seeing dates bass-ackwards in Firefox, but if I look at the same thread with Chrome or Vivaldi it's the right way round. Apologies in that case, please mark this one as solved.

Weird indeed, but then we're posting to a bass playing forum, so goes with the territory.

I've found I have have USA format dates in "MS Edge".  Yet Chrome is displaying them in UK format. This has to be something to do with the browser.

That said, I've looked at all my seetings in both Chrome and Edge and they are both set to display all dates as dd mm yyyy, but still BC displays quotes in Edge as mm dd yyyy.

... move on. Life's too short.
