| [easy] Make 24hr Time Format optional on posts? I find the 24hr time format irritating on the bottom of posts and would like the option to use 12hr format.
I know this has been requested in the past but it's been a while.
So, what say ye? |

Personally I'd like to see 24h format in all places. For example, here:
Use 24h format here
Using 24h format there will make column a bit more narrow (e.g. in first row I could see 18:32 instead of 06:32PM), which is always a good thing for me. :)

There should be some option making that happen, but I don't see it...

I miss the real time stamps (12hr). They were quite helpful.
Maybe ....this might make it to the 'to-do' list? Would be nice  |

When you log out - the web server doesn't know your time zone (usually coming from your preferences). That's why the only way to report a time related stamp is to use a relative time ("posted ... ago")...

I really don't have a preference, but i would like to see some consistency. Why use different formats at all? I would think it would simplify the coding to use the same format throughout the site.

It didn't switch for me. I see the same time stamps whether logged in or not, with just a 1 hour difference due to time zone choice when logged in.

Your time stamp format is completely different. OZO  's format is what I see on my profile. |

This is something I would like to see too.
Other forums provide this option and it should be rather simple to implement. |

That looks great. Alas, I do not think this is an option for my account.  |

I suspect that this is a site-style quirk.
I use 24-hr time on a daily basis and have all computers I have control over switched to it. I like it, enjoy it and don't want to change here.
That being said, I don't really care if someone modifies a style to change to 12-hr time so long as they don't mess up my "dark" style that the OP uses as well.
