Tech,

what settings show for you in the box (with the % characters etc) above “auto detect”?

I managed to recreate the problem too. See the image below.

Clearly a software problem in looking at the date format. Not all of the formats offered in the date format drop down list will work with “auto detect” though some do for me. I modified the date format to give the closest I could to the format in Tech’s original post and that could not be handled by auto detect.

As far as I can see the auto detect fails on any date format that contains “-” as the separator.

I have posted this information to the Simple Machines bug forum.

Unfortunately Alan it’s one of many and some have been there for a long time.
I’ve resigned myself to doing it manually and it really hasn’t been a problem.

Not following you.
Thanks for the clarification Kubecj.

Tech,

I guess you did not read beyond kubecj telling you he has the same problem.

I suppose it does not help that I gave you an image of the box in question just above in this thread.

It no longer matters anyway - since you ignored my posting that I had reproduced your problem, found the cause and reported it in the Simple Machines forum.

It shows the same as mine NaN characters.

I did not ignore… just didn’t understand.
You’ve talking about the date format, well it is like this:
%A, %d-%m-%y, %Hh%M
