Option to change the date format to MM-DD-YYYY

In the United States, the standard date format used is "mm-dd-yyyy.". The site should have the option to use this format throughout for easy understanding.

Maddison Savanah Kopacz BCHSAlumni Administrator Could you please help us understand which areas in the platform you have faced this as we tend to use an agnostic date format like 31 December 2024.

Sahil Mallick The competitive giving pages use the dd/mm/yyyy format, while the event pages have mm/dd/yyyy. The standard format in the US is to start with the month, not the day. Even after using Almabase for a year, the European date format still throws me for a loop.

Thanks for your insights, we are looking into it to get it prioritised.

Kanhai Shah - how is this coming?? It would be a great help for us in the USA for this change. It's like driving on the opposite side of the road when it comes to data entry, especially when copying data from other sites, or when users come to our site. THANK YOU for considering this option soon.
