While we're thinking of things to change, how about a date format that's equally acceptable to Europeans, Americans and people in other parts of the world? Things like "06-05-2010" mean different things in different countries. The ISO standard for dates is to put the largest unit first: "2010-06-05" is something that most people can recognise as 5th June no matter where they live. Or use words: "Jun-05-2010" or similar. Or have an option in user preferences for people to choose their preferred format. OK, it's not the most urgent request, but it would be nice ;-)
Will spend more time to experiment on it later . Somehow I cannot do it like you do; that is to click on it. However, to follow your link, I have to copy the link and then paste it. I will spend more time to experiment on it later. .
Australian BCers always get confused when reading the date . I would agree too. The year causes no confusion because it has 4 digits. It's only the day and month that cause the confusion. Let us look at today's date; * In the USA, 06-11-2010 means Jun-11-2010. * In Australia, 06-11-2010 means 06-Nov-2010. Newer BCers registering from Australia tell me that they always get confused when reading the date. .
Need visible breadcrumbs to lead back to the thread's parent forum. Right now I have to go all the way back to the root of the whole site to change threads.
Months as words, and days as numbers . Therefore, IMHO, it's better to replace our months with words. And keep our days as numbers. .
Exactly! That is the idea! Same thing with naming conventions, use the worldwide computer standard: Roben van SANT or van SANT Roben. Surnames/last names must uniformly be in upper case. No one will be confused thereafter. Before, people would probably ask (non baddy ppl or baddy fans): Is it Taufik Hidayat or Hidayat Taufik? ...David Lee or Lee Daivd? Using David LEE or DAVID Lee makes it clear cut which is the Last name /Surname. Once everyone is introduced and educated about proper naming conventions, there will be no confusion. Just my 2 pence.

Further to the topic on naming conventions.. Thats especially true with chinese names spelt & arranged with the sirname as firstname and the other names as lastname. If i write my name as "Goh K L Simon" which exactly follows my national I/C, shouldnt i be addressed as Mr Simon or Mr Goh?
The Chinese system is to have the surname first . Regarding names, the Chinese system is to have the surname comes first. Therefore knowing that you are a Chinese from Singapore (following the Chinese system), you will be addressed as Mr. Goh. However, a non-Chinese in Singapore usually follows the system where his/her surname comes last, for example your national Badminton player, Hendra Wijaya, will be addressed as Mr. Wijaya. .
Just to put another example. Let's take ''Lee'', a very popular first name and also a very popular last name/surname. David LEE (New York Knicks forward, jersey number 42) . Lee DeWYZE (American Idol 9 winner). Going with the computer naming convention, it's crystal clear whether ''Lee'' is a first name or if ''LEE'' is a surname/last name.
