 Please look at the bottom of this page (under Support Policy Summary) for our support policy summary, containing important information regarding our working hours and our support policy. Thank you!

This is only a minor issue.

Is it possible to change the date format on the ticket from the US format (yyyy-mm-dd) to European Format (dd-mm-yyyy) - See screen shot

ATS uses your language's DATE_FORMAT_LC5 date format. This is the standard date and time format Joomla! uses in all listings of items.

BTW, this is not the US format. The US date format is mm/dd/yyyy. Also, there is no single European date format. For example, both Cyprus and England unsurprisingly share the same date format of dd/mm/yyyy. If you go to Germany, however, the format is dd.mm.yyyy (dots, not forward slashes). This is exactly why Joomla! has the DATE_FORMAT_* constants in each language file. Translators are supposed to change them to what is appropriate for each locale. English (United States) needs different date formats than English (United Kingdom).
