Can we have 4-digit years everywhere?

Is it possible for this forum to only display 4-digit years? Seeing things like “Jul '19” everywhere carries far too much cognitive overhead when trying to evaluate how old a post is.

Some of us are old enough to remember Y2K vividly, and can’t believe we’re still putting up with this much confusion over saving a single character.

Good idea! We went ahead and acted on your suggestion, changing those weird abbreviated years to four digit years.

If you notice any more of those, please let us know exactly where and we’ll change them if we can.

Thanks!

Many thanks! :slight_smile: I had a sneaking suspicion that invoking “cognitive overhead” might get your attention. :wink:

I always use metric dates personally. And we’re old enough to remember the Y2K consulting bonanza :blush: .
