DUBLIN, IRELAND - We've owed our United States users this update for quite some time. We had been using a European date format e.g. '23/04/09', while in the United States it is common to use '04/23/09'. This gets very complicated when you have '04/06/09', is this June 4th, or April 6th?
To solve this, we have now put dates in international format e.g. '23 Apr 2009', easy!
Next up, measurements. Imperial and metric options are now available in your Team Account settings. If you are a team 'Account Owner', visit [Team Account] -> [About Your Team] -> [Measurement Units]. Here you can pick to have all your units converted between miles or kilometers.
All your accounts have been upgraded automatically. Enjoy!

(P.S. We still use International English rather than American English, so we apologise if you see 's' instead of 'z'. e.g. 'Organisation')

I served active duty in the United States Coast Guard from 1967 thru 1971, and, two years afterward in the Ready Reserve,
I agree that the difference in the use of time and measurements can be very confusing and I make mistakes frequently. Thank you.
