-The 'format' parameter on the date/time web tags is unfortunately different, because many of the characters used are different. Note that this also applies to the NOAA report file formats. The characters which can be used now are listed on the following two pages:
-http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/az4se3k1(v=vs.110).aspx - 'standard' strings
-http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx - 'custom' strings
-If the string contains only one character, it is regarded as a 'standard' string, otherwise it is a 'custom string'. See the Microsoft documentation for details of how to force the use of a single character as a custom string rather than a standard string (viz. use the '%' character before the format character).
-Here is a table (based on the table in the wiki) comparing the old and new format strings. Note that there are now also additional format strings, see the Microsoft documentation. If you are having trouble converting a format string, please post it and I will try to help.
