Date format has changed
For some reason, the date format used in the deck exchange has changed from month/day/year to day/month/year. The day/month/year is very confusing to me.

Re: Date format has changed
Hi Sue
The format hasn't changed as far as I know, maybe you only just noticed it. I do know what you mean though. I find the US system of putting the month first very counter-intuitive too, and I expect the same goes for most Europeans. Obviously it is easier when you are past the twelfth of the month but a date like 05/06/2005 doesn't really offer any clues.
The good news is that I am planning some big changes to the deck exchange next year which will effectively solve this problem along with many others. The filtering of decks will be done on the user's machine rather than on the server, so the date which appears will reflect your own system settings.
Cheers
Richard
