Bug Description

Please change the date in the forum to ISO 8601 wich is YYYY-MM-DD.

The now used format is month-day-year which can be a bit confusing with day-month-year (as it is generally used in Germany) and not specifiable.

Wikipedia says:
2003-11-09: the standard Internet date/time format, a profile of the international standard ISO 8601, orders the components of a date like this, and additionally uses leading zeros, for example, 0813-03-01, to be easily read and sorted by computers. It is used with UTC in RFC 3339. This format is also favoured in certain Asian countries, mainly East Asian countries, as well as in some European countries. The big-endian convention is also frequently used in Canada, but all three conventions are used there.

The shown date format depends on your setting in your user profile. Changing this to "Y-m-d" (2014-05-02) will show this format on all pages where date is shown.

Maybe the default should be YYYY-MM-DD and not the curious date with the extension "%ND" (which will not work correct: https://bugs.launchpad.net/widelands-website/+bug/811686 )
