How can I display the time in the 24h notation?

I don't want to use AM/PM.

    Hi HamsterNL,

     

    All settings regarding the display of time and dates in the community can be found by clicking your avatar at the top of the community page, and navigating to "My Settings". Within My Settings, you want to click Preferences, then Display.

     

    At this time there is no option to switch to a 24 hour clock.  The options available are using relative dates versus absolute dates:

     

    I hope this helps!

    Any chance this will be changed?  While several English speaking countries use the 12 hour format, the vast majority of countries in the world do not.  This particular limitation is probably just an oversight by the developers based on their home location.  It would be good to at least provide the option to use either format.

    This is a Lithium limitation so PTC can only lobby them to change their software.

    For those who are using Chrome as their browser...this plugin might help: AM/PM -> 24h format everywhere

    I highly second the improvement suggestion to enable 24hr (US military) mode!

    Maybe even make it the default

    Its hard to believe that Lithium does not offer this out of the box

    Personally I would prefer the 24 hour display as default so it would also be used when I am browsing the forum without being logged in.

    Furthermore I think that it is more suitable for a company that operates internationally.

    But I guess that each one of us can live with any default setting as long as we are given the option to change it.
