Should Manifold change their date and time format?

No, current formats are fine.
Use ISO 8601.
Change to something else.
The current date and time formats in various parts of the site are inconvenient. In profiles the format is mm/dd/yy which is ambiguous. In markets it's unclear which timezone the market resolution date is in.
I propose using ISO 8601 format (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) YY/MM/DD with a UTC offset included as it is both unambiguous and sortable.
