    That's a negative. I need to lower the flag at 2000 hours. having this boards say 8 is too confusing..

    I prefer 24 hours as well.

    Seems a little strange that the software won't allow it to be user configurable. I imagine the DB keeps everything in standard GMT, options in the user settings include Time Zone, DST, and Start of Week, so each user already gets a customized timestamp for everything. Why not the 12/24 option? Weird.

    A day has 24 hours, not 12.

    It is odd. I was a little surprised, to be honest.

    If you are interested, the time is actually stored in the database using the unix time stamp ie the number of seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC. Your post, for instance, is stored as 1303997735 (or Thursday 28 Apr 2011 13:35:35 GMT).
