Hi everyone,

This week, our site has passed the 5000-member mark! We are now officially a crowd :)

It is not going to last very long, though, because I plan to disable profiles that haven't logged in in half a year starting sometime next week. This is going to affect around 600 profiles. Disabled profiles will no longer show up in the members list and you will not be able to send them messages. However, if the owner of the profile logs in, the profile will be instantly restored.

Another change I am planning for the near future has to do with date formatting. Dates appear in many different places, like your messages, the Events page, user profiles, etc.

Right now dates on the site are always formatted as "2011-06-12" meaning the 12th of June, 2011. This is an ISO standard date format, but is a little bit confusing to some members. For example, our USA members are more used to a 6/12/2011 (or even 6/12/11) format, while the United Kingdom prefers the 12/06/2011 order. (And there's many more).

My plan is to make the date formatting dependent on the user's language, so the date formatting will be closer to what you would expect it to be.

While we're on the topic of changes, it is now possible to sort the user's list by country and name, which is somewhat better for the "Who is on chat?" page than an alphabetical list.
