      So with the new PFsense 2.3.1 you have changed the captive portal to no longer pop up a calendar for date picking of expiry dates. That by itself is pretty annoying but i accept you want to cater to people with phones more sigh.

      So now that there is no calendar, i find the american date format confusing. How do I change to a normal ISO date format of yyyy-mm-dd or dd-mm-yyyy ?

      It keeps bitching about my dates because it uses mm/dd/yyyy which is the stupidest date format ever invented when it comes to computers.

      if there any way to change the date format in pfsense to be a proper one?

        There is no such thing as captive portal calendars, what are you referring to?

          I guess he refers to the Local User Manager expire date setting.

              The calendar date picker is still there, click the down arrow at the right of that box.

              Agree using the mm/dd/yyyy format isn't the best. I'd rather have YYYYmmdd, generally the standard we follow elsewhere. Not a priority at the moment but might change that.

                This may be the case of a bug, or something. I do not see any down arrow (see attached image)

                Oh well i do see it in chrome, but not firefox which is what i use. The box is there in chrome.
                I tried IE and the whole interface is an unusable mess in IE, but that doesnt really matter for me.

                  If IE's showing a mess, you need to disable compatibility mode in IE.

                  Confirmed it doesn't work in Firefox and Safari at least.
