date format on this support site
Any chance of changing the date format used on this support site from the (benighted) US format m/dd/yy to something less ambiguous please (you will know that Europe uses dd/mm/yy(yy) which leaves a lot of room for error eg for 1/2/2015 are we discussing the 1st of feb or the second of Jan) Lots of sane choices are possible Thanks
