In the shoutbox and the recent posts blocks it has the time when these items were posted in the format of:

[Full month, date, full year, H:M:S am/pm]

Where would I begin to look to change the format of these items to something like the following:

[Numeric M-D-Y, H:M am/pm]

Thanks.  I have looked in the Recent Posts function in portalblocks.php and it lists $item['date'] and nothing in the function defines the format so it must be elsewhere but I don't know where.

The easiest solution to this, would be to set the '$user_info['time_offset']' variable at the start of the relevant functions (ie. sp_shoutbox, sp_recent) (store its previous value into a variable first), then set it back to its old value at the end of the function. If the $user_info variable is not listed in the globals at the start of the function, then you will need to add it.

Thanks I'll see if i can muddle my way through what you suggested.  My php skills are novice at best so I'm not sure I'll be able to do it but I'll give it a shot.
