Date format not changing

2.0 RC3

I went in the Admin section and changed my date format for my forums, hit Save and there is no change in the displayed format anywhere on my forums.  Am I missing a step that I need to do?

Yup did that several times and no change  :(

Apart from the file permissions, I'm clueless, with this, I'm afraid.

Okay so it seems that for some reason it is an issue with Google Chrome, the date format doesn't change even though I switched it and cleared my browser cache and everything.  The date change works fine with Firefox and IE.  Anybody have any ideas why it wouldn't switch with Chrome?

It shouldn't be the browser because SMF outputs the date equally across all browsers. The only thing I could think of is the time output was trapped in the forum's cache.


Marking this one as solved...

Well then it is still trapped in my Google Chrome browsers cache even after emptying it several times.  Also this is not just an issue with 2.0RC3 either, I tried changing the date format on my live 1.1.11 site and Google Chrome did not reflect the change on that forum either even after emptying the cache.

I don't know how you can mark it as solved if there was nothing resolved.  Are simply telling me it's a browser issue that we all have to live with if we have users that use Chrome.

This issue is not solved the date format still does not change in GC.

Time Format should be set to Forum Defaullt

Thats the ticket.... thank you very much.

I wonder how mine got changed on both the live site and the test site from forum default?  I never knew the setting was there so I never changed it and looking through some of my members they all say forum default so idk.

But now I know thanks again live627, now the topic is truely solved.  ;D
