Is there any way to configure four digit years in Discourse. Or alternatively, as a feature request, can we please have four digit years in Discourse? For example: [image] This is easily confused to read 17th of January, as opposed to an archaic post from 4 years ago. Depending on the dark/light setting and other theme configurations, the apostrophe can be even less visible. Thanks.

You can customize it by search js.dates on /admin/customize/site_texts. And the time format document: Moment.js | Docs This is the most robust display option. It takes a string of tokens and replaces them with their corresponding values. By the way, what @team thoughts about the recent Moment.js project-status?

Thanks, I went to Admin, Customize, Text, searched for js.dates, then changed it to search for 'yy, and changed all of them to YYYY.

Actually, can I just confirm it is capital Y for YYYY? Because I know I’ve been bitted in regex where it is yyyy for year, but YYYY for year of "Week of Year" which is different a few days each year. I checked and the original was 'YY so I presume that capital Y is correct.

Not really, not unless. you didn’t see the period in the middle of this sentence :wink: That being said, the idea is you can customize any text however you like on your site, including date formats.
