check post #7 out in this thread:

i had to play with it a bit until it worked for me. I think under the presets for short, medium, etc, i had to plug my new format into all of them to get it to work. of course, maybe i just hit the wrong one a couple times in a row.

Thanks for the link, eric! I didn't know I could have the date without downloading something else. :D

i also like how i can change the date to be in proper day month year order.
would be nice to have an option for julian date next to the gregorian date too.
