Just notice it - the hour is missing from the format of the time stamp - it looks like 24 November 2009, :40 PM

An example is shown here - the left image.

Mahara 1.2.0, Windows XP, XAMPP, MySQL 5.0.67

That is extremely strange.  Is that the only place in Mahara that you've noticed it ?

The php manual says, 

 As the output is dependent upon the underlying C library, some conversion specifiers are not supported. On Windows, supplying unknown conversion specifiers will result in 5 E_WARNING messages and return FALSE. On other operating systems you may not get any E_WARNING messages and the output may contain the conversion specifiers unconverted.

Are you getting any errors or warnings in your logs?

This timestamp format is everwhere - forums, feedbacks, notifications.

There is no info about this in the error log.

I added another note to the bug report about the encoding of those messages for this. It might be to do with the C library on your system, or it might be to do with the replacement for strptime that Richard recently added that we use in some places.

I don't think it's the strptime thing. The timestamps in the notifications are created using format_date (i.e. strftime) and strtotime.
