$mybb->settings['dateformat'] NOT working properly.

[Niki]

I have the Date Formats set up in the configuration as: m-d-Y

I've created a new page to show absent members, however the dateformat is not using the mybb settings format on this page specifically.

Current time now shows relative correct date like: 02-18-2018
This page shows it like: 28-2-2018

What have I done wrong?

PHP Code:

$returndate = $users['returndate'];
