Hi, on the admin page, the date is in the US format, which after a couple of posts, start to be jarring because i kept mentally think the date is wrong. ![Screenshot_2018-12-19%20Editor%20-%20Today%20I%20learned](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/ghost2/original/2X/8/891325f52bc76bc62f44be18dd494761f64d8d8f.png) I was hoping to find a setting. I’ve searched the forum. - What version of Ghost are you using? **Version** 2.9.0 - What configuration? **Timezone** GMT **Publication Language** en - What browser? any - What errors or information do you see in the console? not related to this. - What steps could someone else take to reproduce the issue you’re having? set up a new post, see the date in US format ( mm-dd-yyyy ) Expect: able to change date format to dd-mm-yyyy, or at least see the date in a common format like “25 Dec. 2018” Am i missing something? ---
