I saw this strangeness while viewing a user's aviation profile in the SE iOS app:
The user clearly has been a member for longer than 11 minutes.

7It's supposed to say "11 months"; I'm not sure if it's being clipped or if someone actually thought "m" was a suitable abbreviation. Also, I'm assuming this is the iOS app, since that screenshot doesn't look like either the mobile page or the Android app.– Shog9Dec 14, 2014 at 19:16

1Ah, 11 "months" not "minutes". Ok, I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a UX flaw then.– Sam BerryDec 14, 2014 at 19:18

7I'd say this is a bug - we don't use "m" as an abbreviation for "months" anywhere else that I'm aware (which is why I kinda wonder if they just didn't allow enough space) - note that we do use "m" as an abbreviation for "minutes"!– Shog9Dec 14, 2014 at 19:19

I have edited this to be a more proper bug report, focusing on the bug itself which is using "m" for months.– Shadow Wizard Is Sad And AngryDec 14, 2014 at 19:46

@ShadowWizard Thanks, I don't have the proper technologies currently to do so. Or possibly just the proper apps.– Sam BerryDec 14, 2014 at 20:08

No app, taking a screenshot is a generic action of iOS.– Shadow Wizard Is Sad And AngryDec 14, 2014 at 20:15

How about pixlr edit? Or just a general paint tool?– TimDec 14, 2014 at 20:30

1If space is a concern, "mo" would be much better.– 3venticDec 15, 2014 at 1:18

Taking care of this.– Arie LitovskyDec 15, 2014 at 23:33

@Shog9 "m" is used to abbreviate months on the site list (under site age). "m" is also used for millions there, so that's a little confusing...– hichris123Dec 15, 2014 at 23:55

This has been fixed – dates will now be rendered in a glorious, full-length format:
This change will first take effect in beta build 1.2.1.168.

Will it affect other timestamps in the app? Or just profile page? Dec 15, 2014 at 23:39
