Change Date Format on message-list Component

Hi all,   I'm trying to change the date format on the post listing on the forum-level page. Is there a nice way to change 03-24-2015 to March 24, 2015 without getting hacky with javascript?

Hi Tyler  Try this one

<#assign getDate = rest("2.0","search?q=" + "select post_time from messages limit 1"?url).data.items![] />
<#list getDate as dt>
${dt.post_time?datetime?string}
${dt.post_time?date?string("MMM d, YY")}
</#list>

Here is the setting path    Admin > System > Date & Time
Some free marker date manipulation functions are here as well.
