Fixed Ambiguous date format settings on specific dates

I'm trying to create a new language and I discovered that XenForo uses today's date as an example string, which causes confusion if you're editing this setting on the first of January (or second of February, etc) as you can't be sure which order the last two option represents.

To fix this problem, use an arbitrary date.

Ah, okay. But yeah, remember that the last one is MM/DD/YY, then, and you're set.

This is fixed now.

This is fixed now.

Out of curiosity, what was the fix? Using an arbitrary date instead of the current one?

Yes.
