My U2.com membership Expires In Jan 2005!!

[snutes1]

I was playing around in U2. com and went to my profile after loggin in. It said that my u2.com membership EXPIRES on JAN 12, 2005. I just registered and payed 20.00 US $$ on Wednesday (with prop coupon) and it is already expiring in a month. This would really suck.

Has this happened to anyone else.

That is Dec. 1, 2005, not Jan 12, 2005



European style numbering.

I had a heart palpitation when I first saw it too. Then I remembered the veddy veird american style of writing dates I have now become accostumed to after 12 years in here.

Er... no clue what that means.

But, the fact is that most of the world uses DAY/MONTH/YEAR. That was the way I was used to for the first 14 years of my life. Had to get used to MONTH/DAY/YEAR once I came to the States and it was just funny to me that after years of complaining that the format made no sense, I have become so accostumed to it that even I cursed when I first saw my expiration date and it took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on...

I got worried there for a minute - I just noticed my expiration as 06.12.2005 thinking that was a June expiration

The way Americans use to put the date on things always confues me....
