Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
Choice is always a good thing, the default is the US date format which as I'm sure you agree some may find confusing... changing it is in fine if a majority clearly agree, but if not I'm happy to live with it.
It's weird that mm/dd/yy was the default... I must be getting old...

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
I find the US-style ordering confusing, yes. But surely it will be the same for people used to the US-style system if we switch?

Suggest to make the default depend on forum language setting if possible. So those who choose the English UK flavour get sane date formats, and those who choose English US get arandom datesomething American instead.

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
It's a good idea, although I wonder how useful it would be: members who log in get to choose language, time and date settings, whereas I doubt many guests bother (or even know how) to change from US to UK English (the differences are minimal). Would probably be as well to just add time/date options next to the style/language selection for guests.

Keep it at the 24 hour clock. I need to get used to military time anyways.

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
I was seeing this weekend that the date format was changed, I was seeing Euro-style, even though my settings said US-style. Switching to extended US and then back fixed it, but I think the initial setting/default is Euro for an account regardless. Just a heads-up.

Re: Can I get an option for a 12 hour clock?
Sorry, changed it when I though European was the default but forgot to change it back. Should be fine now.
