Feature Request - Date format selectable on a per user basis

A feature enhancement request.

Presently SBBS uses a global option to define the date format for all users of the BBS, which is either USA (MM/DD/YY) or European format (DD/MM/YY).

Now that BBS's have become globally accessible, i.e. A BBS in Australia could be easily accessed by a USA or European user, assigning date format per user would be a better experience.

Three formats seem to be globally accepted:

DD/MM/YY - European users MM/DD/YY - USA users YY/MM/DD - Asian users

Of course there are many other areas of the world, but generally all users would be comfortable selecting one of these three formats.

Suggestion:

  1. Keep the option to have a global BBS default (maybe chose from one of the three formats).
  2. Include a "Allow users to choose date format during registration, Y/N" for new users - selecting "No" would copy the global default - user can change later (see option 3).
  3. Include an option to allow users to change their default date format within the [D] option from the main menu (or shell equivalent).
  4. Use the chosen per user date format across BBS functions, such as reading emails, searching and displaying files and other appliciable places.

Thoughts / feedback welcome.
