On the account's page, is it DD/MM/YYYY, or MM/DD/YYYY..


Cause it's not at all clear, if it's DD/MM/YYYY, then my account should have gone inactive, though if it's MM/DD/YYYY then I've still got a month to go...

(BTW, I do have another month to go, it's the date should realy be noted so people can tell if it's the 2nd day for the first month or the first day of the second month and the like)

So please, a DD/MM/YYYY little notation would realy help out here...

Worldpay is American? It's owned by Bank of Scotland, a UK Company.

Odd.

if it was DD/MM/YYYY on mine my account would be expired, it's not..

So, it must be MM/DD/YYYY

1) format can depend on your local settings
2) expired accounts are not blocked immediatelly, you're given usualy 2-3 days to straighten up payment problems.


Edit :
best format is scientific y-m-d : )
1) sorts good
2) leaves no doubts
3) follows time more-important-frist rule so you can form stardate y-m-d-h-m-s : D

No, it's better to have the smallest first, When your sending a letter you don't send it to..

Uk,
England
Middlands
W.middlands

and so on,

You put name, so it get's to right person, then street, town, city county country, planet, universe and so on..


So with Time it should be DD/MM/YYYY Because it go's to give you scale of the first...


When somone ask's you the date you don't tell them it's 2004, then say it's january when they give you and odd look..

You first say it's the 9th of January, then expand to year if they need it..

It's like when your telling somone where there key's are you don't say, in the house... In the living room... lefthand side, under the chair, under the newspaper (though if you put it there why are you telling them anyway?).. You say it's under the newspaper under the chair, in the living room..


So date's and time's should alway's be shown from more exact to less..
