You can choose ISO date format in the application settings.
What kind of format would you like ?

I'd like to be able have dd-mm-yyyy, as that's our default
date format here in Australia.
The ISO date format is great for me (I prefer it), but our
business clients prefer our default format.
If we could specify it according to whatever date formating
filters ruby uses, that would be fantastic. Then we could
show dates like: 08-nov-2007 or 8th November 2007, etc

As of r905, you can choose the date format in a more complete
list (dd-mm-yyyy is included).

If we could specify it according to whatever date formating

filters ruby uses, that would be fantastic.

Maybe later :-)

Having pretty displays of date would be awesome. I mean, when I have a long list of ticket it's hard to translate line by line date into 'ok, that's today' or 'yesterday', or 3 days ago. I'm not sure the precice datetime is really relevant is most cases.
Not sure if the Chronic (http://chronic.rubyforge.org/) gem can help here (seems to be more a parser than a kind of helper).

Thanks

Some ten+ years later, this is still not something the user can choose for his/her preferences, which is where it belongs. Or did I not find the correct place on the user profile to change this?

The date/time format a user prefers has nothing to do with the selected language, locale, or other regional settings.

+1 for getting this into some future Redmine 4.x release :-)
