Re: change date format how??

includes/languages/english.php -- adapt if using overrides

around line #24

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %d %B, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

Switch the %d and %B around, like this:

define('DATE_FORMAT_LONG', '%A %B %d, %Y'); // this is used for strftime()

You'll notice two lines, one right after the other:

DATE_FORMAT_SHORT
DATE_FORMAT_LONG

Change both or whichever one you want.
