Karen, thanks for the info. However, i don't use any translations. I do have USE_I18N = True but changing it to False doesn't change a thing so the issue remains. The bug report you mentioned is already 2 years old and it's isn't clear if this is a bug or not although it does seem like a bug to me and quite an annoying one if you're using another date format. I can manage by using the date tag in templates and always converting the dates in my views but one would think the settings would be there to handle this kind of things. Is there a way to define the date format globally or convert it globally? That would also help.
