No support. It would be more confusion, and it isn't hard to do the conversion in your head.

Support. I wouldn't use this myself but it would be useful for people from some other countries. The setting could look like this:

It might make more sense to put the toggle at the bottom of the discuss home, but I don't know.

Support, because I typically use a 12 hour clock. It can sometimes take some time for me to understand a 12 hour equivalent to a 24 hour clock. You could tell me to make a chart, but don't forget that there are many users younger than me who don't know about the 24 hour clock. (Remember that Scratchers of many ages use it!) This could be a useful feature for Scratch.

Maybe in the same place where you change your signature, and the link would be renamed to “Settings”? I will make a mockup soon.

Edit: Mockups:

How would it be confusing? Also, the point of the suggestion is to not have to do a conversion. Just because it “isn't hard to do” according to you doesn't mean it is not hard to do for anyone else on the planet.

People would get messed up between A.M. and P.M.

You do realize that it is an option, and it would say AM or PM, right?

Oh my bad, I thought it would differ between posts based on how the user has it set; my bad!

I like AM/PM times, but it's easy to understand. As said:

24 Hours isn't THAT hard to understand. If it's beyond 12, just take 12 from the hour.
It's so easy that I could read it and understand it. (20 - 12 = 8)
So no support.

I can read an analog clock. As such, I shouldn't support digital clocks.

Support. It is annoying to keep doing math when you just want to know when something was posted.

Support. I use 24-hour time and imo it's quite easy to do the maths to convert it, but for some people it's not that way- so this would be useful for them.

Support. This could be useful for some people (like in French) where 24 hour time is standard. I would not use this, but I am sure lots of people would.

Also lots of people are just saying ‘support’, it is best to give a reason why you support.

The posts that just say ‘Support’ are years old, from when that was standard in the forums.
Also, isn't it automatically 24-hour? I think you meant ‘somewhere where 12 hour time is standard’.

I already suggested something like this here, but also with local time.

Support, if there was a toggle, as people around the world use different time styles.
