Searched but couldn't find anything.
I was just wondering if there is some way to change the date format in the notification emails that go out when calendar items are added.
Being in Australia we use the D/M/Y format rather than the M/D/Y that seems to be the default (being a US based site). This has led to some confusion especially when a new item was added for 10th Nov, which for us would be 10/11/09, however the mailout said 11/10/09 which is a date in the past.
Any suggestions on how to avoid this confusion?

One idea would be to include the date of the event in the details/subject of the event, so when an Email goes out the date may be seen in the details. This would give everyone a clear indication of the date.Caillin wrote:Searched but couldn't find anything.

I'm not aware of any other change that would do what you're asking.

I suspect the effort is going into the next version rather than fixing the current one.
