Log Message:
Add option to display short dates in verbal/unambiguous formats
Although we've added (in SBBS v3.20) configurable numeric date input/display formats for the system, the output was still ambiguous for users (e.g.
NN/NN/NN which could be interpretted a number of ways), so I've added an option to choose "verbal" short date formats to be displayed where possible instead. The same value separate from the numeric format (whatever the sysop chose) is used in the verbal date output, but since month name abbreviations are 3 characters, only one separator is used (to keep the output length fixed at 8 characters).
The new "Verbal" short date display format is choosable in the SCFG wizard and via SCFG->System->Short Date Format.
