Time format Issue. You probably/may have noticed the time and date display in posts has defaulted to "Time Format" except for new posts. Dante and I are working on it.  However I've discovered a workaround for now that will fix it but for you only..
Edit your member profile Look and Layout.  In the time format box/field enter %a %d%b %Y %I:%M %p (or click the ? button next to it and make your own combo, or select a format from the drop down list) then select change profile. You'll need to refresh to see the change BTW.

Thanks for troubleshooting this, Richard! 

I was able to get mine to work the way you described.

Now, to find out how to fix the default values for everyone

I tried changing the defaults, and saving/changing back, that didn't work .  I think there's a disconnect (config) to the file that stores the setting(s) (Theme ?) (which I edited twice and saved each time) and what's needing to retrieve it (it's looking elsewhere it seems ?)

Thanks Richard, this worked for me!!!!

No worries  , we have a couple of band aides LOL. Welcome to the depot 

[DannyjoeCarter]

Just discovered this - worked perfect!

Hey Dante, we still need to fix this properly 

[vansinn]

Aha! so, just what did you change in the configs? PHP.NET, unless modified, should do this automatically - but to be fair, I do not have a running forum in front of me to check out, so..

Did you upgrade the SMF software?  Did you upgrade something on the Linux OS, or rather, did the hosting provider?

[rnolan]

Mmm or is it deeper than that LoL. My suspicion (from a long while ago  ) is that it happened after Dante moved the forum within his "hosted" directory structure (I suspect in here lies the problem  ).  The SMF version is the latest available, the OS  .

[vansinn]

Well, I'd love to go poking around - the forum kindof used to be my back yard..
My apartment exodus is somewhat taxing to the mind, else I could simply do it through Remote Viewing

[Dante]

Yeah, I probably made some mistakes when I installed this SMF forum. I am just dangerous enough to make it work, but I have no idea how to rectify the issue.

[rnolan]

Hey Dante, hey at least it works  .  We'll get it sorted at some point, for now at least we have a workaround.

Thanks Admin its been bugging me not knowing dates.

[rnolan]

No worries bunkyloo  , we'll get round to fixing it one day (hey Dante  ).

I've noticed that with today's (Tue, August 13) replies there's a date of the post, or rather a signature: "Today at XX:XX". Does that mean the pesky Time Format issue has been rectified?
