The previous post is linking to a deleted topic. The significant content of the post that was linked to is to first go to your Admin / Customize / Text page and search for `'YY`

That will return the following list:

`js.dates.tiny.date_year`  
`MMM 'YY`

`js.dates.medium.date_year`  
`MMM D, 'YY`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year`  
`MMM D, 'YY LT`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year_without_time`  
`MMM D, 'YY`

`js.dates.long_date_with_year_with_linebreak`  
`MMM D, 'YY <br/>LT`

Edit each of those entries to replace `'YY` with `YYYY` to get the full year.
