    Default Display 4-digit years in WHM for Account Setup/Start dates [Case 49166]

    May I request a simple change to the WHM interface, please? That is to have the SetupDate field altered to have a 4-digit year.

    In this way any confusion with dates will be removed. I like the way the year appears first, but until 2032 there will always be doubt about dates (especially when not current, eg 03 May 04) unless we use 4-digit years.

    TIA

    This idea makes a lot of sense so I've submitted it to our UI team.

    The UI team would like some followup feedback.

    Is YYYY-MM-DD better or should we use your local date format instead, since date formats vary.

    I understand YYYY-MM-DD is a ISO standard that many technical people prefer because it makes it easy to visually look through a long list.

    However a localized date format would be easier on novices.

    Which option do you all prefer?

    Thank you for looking at this.
    I prefer using YYYY-MM-DD in lists. I've set Windows to format short form dates in this way.

    In Europe it's DD-MM-YYYY, it would be great if this could either be a tweak setting or based on the local. I guess the UK are more used to seing US dates than other european countries...

    We would defenetly like this to be based on the server local, EN GB should be UK format and EN USA should be USA format.

    If this is not possible based on the language should do the trick although I'm not sure about the date format French Canada vs France.

    For us if it could be based by default on the server local that would be great.

    Im a European and prefer DD-MM-YYYY
    However with the function implemented does not seem hard to be an option to change the date format ..
