It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 59090
interpreted = N
texte = Well, nevermind... I just wasnt understanding how the internal formatting worked.. If I force the euro date format then I get the desired results.. ie: [text]timestamp=[math]((([math]{[date %d/%m/%Y]}[/math])-1)*86400)+([math]{[time]}[/math])[/math][/text] Date: [format days_to_date %d/%m/%Y][format .6d][math]([timestamp]/86400)+1[/math][/format][/format] works.. I think the [date %d/%m/%Y] forces the "/" which seems to be the difference..
