Dear All,

 

Has anyone managed to successfully display all dates in UK date format
in Bb version 9.0?

 

We are currently experiencing major problems with this in version 9.0
service pack 2 (9.0.505.0) with Managed Hosting. 

 

We are using the GB language pack and have changed everything we can to
the UK format, but still half of the dates are appearing in the US
format, which just looks unprofessional and can be very confusing.

 

I raised a ticket with BbMH about this a few weeks ago and after a lot
of to-ing and fro-ing have eventually received the recommendation that
we immediately upgrade to 9.1. Whilst it sounds like it will solve this
problem, I am worried about what new problems this will introduce, so
this close to the start of the new academic year I would really like to
find a solution that does not involve an upgrade.

 

Our Blackboard system is very much in its infancy, and so far has only
been used for piloting but we are aiming for a rollout across the
College at the beginning of September. Therefore the impact of an
upgrade would not be as major for us as for most people, but it will
still need setting up and testing so it is quite a major concern.

 

Any advice you can offer, or any reassurances that the upgrade to 9.1
would not be as painful as I expect, would be very much appreciated.

 

Best wishes
