12 vs. 24 Hours
They said a way to swap between the 2, not that you had to use 12 hours, so it could just be an option. Though it is very easy to convert, just subtract 12 if the hours is more than 12, and add PM. Do the opposite for the other way around.No support. Minor inconvenience.Good, I'm not gonna be a lone fish!
No support:
MOST of the world uses 24-Hour
Even though I use 12-Hour, 24 Hour is much more understandable
It's just a wasteful bunch of code to make an AM/PM system

Support. I wouldn’t use it, because I always confuse am with pm (like how am I supposed to remember that if I can just determine is it’s before or after noon just by looking outside?), but I think it would be useful for the people of the countries that use am/pm.

If it’s dark or you’re asleep at 12, it’s am. Anything after that is also AM until the next 12, then it’s PM till the next 12

Just a way to switch from 24 hour time to 12 hour time with am and pm on the forums. That's all.Hmm.
Some people use the 24 hour format and some 12 hour format.
What about making an setting for changing it?

(bump, duplicate)
Great suggestion! After a while, you do get used to the 24 hour system, but I would agree that a 12 hour system would work well.

I agree with these two people: a setting for editing which format you use would be helpful for people who are used to the 24 hour format.Just a way to switch from 24 hour time to 12 hour time with am and pm on the forums. That's all.Hmm.

As someone who can't really read 24 hour time easily, I fully agree with this. It makes it easier on people like us who are only accustomed to 12 hour time.

Support. I almost NEVER use 24 hour time. It's kind of confusing.

So you can change between 6pm and 18:00? Would be nice for those who uses the 12 hours thing (am/pm)
