Title: Date Format
Post by: Wolfie33 on February 04, 2018, 01:12:30 PM

Hi all . . . just a quickie . . .

Does changing the date format from m/d/y to d/m/y in WD setup have any adverse affects further down the line?
ie, can it be changed without stuffing other parts?
. . or to put it another way . .
Can the date format in the clientraw files etc be changed specifically?

Cheers

I always thought WD picked up the date from either the computer or weather station. I'm not aware of anywhere in the program where you set the date or alter the format. However, I've never needed to look hard in the 7-8 years of using it.

I agree, I do not think there is an alternative time/date format.  It would need to be constant because other sites use the data in some circumstances or options for sharing.  I think if the PC has a certain time/date format, it will be altered to that which is common in the clientraw.

Thanks Guys
My research in reading some set up dox led me down the path to my query, maybe I misread/misunderstood ??
C'est la vie . . .  ???

the urban dictionary says
can also be translated into english as:
- "that's life"
- "oh well, s_h_i_t happens"
