 * The timestamp that is recorded in the database is hardcoded using the format:`
   Y-m-d H:i:s`
 * You can change the timestamp format that is displayed in the output page and 
   email by changing the template. You’ll need FTP or SSH access to the site. Go
   to the plugin folder, then to the templates sub-folder, then make a copy of the
   default template. Now edit that copied template as you wish, you can customize
   the timestamp like so:
 * `date("d M Y H:i:s", strtotime(fm_summary_the_timestamp()))`
 * After you have made your custom copy (don’t forget to change the file name and
   the template name and description at the top of the file) go to the form, under
   the “Advanced” tab, and change the template of the “E-Mail Notifications” and/
   or the “Data Summary” and then save changes.
 * I hope this helps! 🙂
