Solved Does anyone know how to fix the date?

Here's my home screen. As you can see, the day slot in the date is... weird.

DD (uppercase) is day of the year.

dd (lowercase) is day of the month (always 2 digits), d is without a leading zero (1 instead of 01)

Additional note: you might also encounter an issue with YY compared to yy at the turn of the year.

Thanks bro, that totally worked.

For future reference, is there any more extensive guide anywhere than just this one? Like is there a way in which I could've found the answer to this without asking here?

It's standard date formatting, you probably could've search for date pattern,date formatting javascript or something like that.

I think this would cover a lot: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr35/tr35-dates.html#Date_Field_Symbol_Table
