Date format on Rootschat forums?
« on: Thursday 06 January 22 09:33 GMT (UK) »
The year on Rootschat posts is shown as 2 digits; this was compact and unambiguous before 2000.

Post 2000 it is easy to muddle the day of the month and the year (per example below)

May I suggest a change to 4 digit years?

It’s been so long since I set this up that I forgot date/time could be changed.
