Hi, I have just updated to beta build 1008 from 1.9.1.

I was just quickly reviewing the online web pages - http://www.stirlingweather.co.uk when I noticed that the wrong date format seems to be causing a problem in some all time record fields.

Eg the date is showing 12 July 2010 when the actual record took place and should read 7 December 2010 eg wrong date format.

This is happening on lowest temp, lowest max and lowest wind chill.

On a few occasions it did appear as the correct date but at future web updates it goes back to wrong date format.

Edit: to say that I've changed back to 1.9.1 just incase you view my weather page. Since moving back the dates are displaying correctly.

Thanks

Scott

Scott,

This is a screenshot of what I'm seeing and everything looks okay datewise.

Scott,

Have you noticed that the Page Updated date in the bottom right shows the date in US format? Have you checked your Regional and Language Options in Control Panel? My guess is that you have your date formatted as mm/dd/yyyy.

As Ray says, you have your system date format set to US format, which is a bit unusual for a UK systems. This shouldn't stop Cumulus working - lots of people in the US are using it and I'm not aware of any problems so far (I haven't changed any related code for some time) - but I wonder if at some point you have been using UK format. I suspect you have some odd date formatting in your log files. Could you please zip up your diags folder and also your data folder, and attach them?

Was the issue only apparent on your web site, or in Cumulus as well?

Hi Steve,

Cumulus program was fine it was just the website and in particluar only those three fields in the All Time Records.

I'll have a look at the other suggestions in the previous posts.

thanks
