OK, I am delighted that DNN now has the ability to adjust regional settings. On my own site all of my dates are in an intelligible format.

BUT... why is no-one else using it? Especially American sites? This very DNN site - dotnetnuke.com - is meant to be the foundation of DNN worldwide, yet it only offers 'English - United States' when I go to my profile settings. As a result all of the dates on the forums and the blogs are confusing to me. It takes only a second or two to turn on, but people just don't do it. Many other high profile DNN sites are equally guilty.

Could we either have (at the very least) 'English-United States' and 'English - UK' installed by default (I can live with English UK). Failing that - if you are running a DNN site that is aimed at a global English speaking audience, can you at least give us a chance to read dates in a way that makes sense?

Sorry for sounding annoyed, but it is a real issue for us non-americans (and there are a lot of us).

Hi Nina

I think you misunderstood me. I have got my own site localised and it's great (and it was dead easy). Fantastic work, and a fantastic feature.

I'm complaining that this great DNN feature (locale setting) is not enabled in the majority of North American DNN sites, which makes my user experience a poor one. For example, this primary DNN site itself offers no option but English-US, and that many other sites do the same. It's not the language that bothers me, but the fact that the forums, blogs and repository items are all in the US date format, which is easily misunderstood.

I'm (obviously) not an administrator for this dotnetnuke.com site, so I have no ability to control how the site is set up and what locales are offered. I'm just asking that site administrators consider their potential audience.
