Upcoming Events Schedule 12h vs 24h

[Sorry if this has been brought up before, but a simple forum search didn't find any threads on this]

I was just pondering if perhaps the times on the Upcoming Schedule should be displayed using the 24 hour clock (Military Time/ISO 8601) instead of the somewhat archaic and (in most of the world) no longer used 12 hour clock.

I know a switch to 24h would help me immensely.

Thoughts?

Swatch internet time

the only time that matters

Yes, clearly the dominant time keeping method ;P

12 hour clock is best clock

@flacracker: Based on?

This is correct.

Is the 12 hour clock really that unpopular? In what countries do the majority of people use 24h? Just curious.

Eh, I don't think the 12 hour clock is that much of a problem even though it is kinda stupid and archaic. I never had any problems figuring out when stuff happens

Website should know where you are located and change it accordingly. @alexisg get on it

@zacagawea:

A list of Languages that use the 12h clock as default on computers

• Albanian
• Chinese (Singapore and Taiwan)
• English (Australia, Belize, Canada, Caribbean, Jamaica, New Zealand, Philippines, Trinidad, South Africa, United States, and Zimbabwe)
• Greek
• Korean (Seoul and Pyongyang)
• Spanish (Mexico and parts of South America)
• Swahili

Anyone not on that list use the 24h clock as default, exceptions may exist... This information is taken from the internet ;P

It actually does!

It does know where you are and changes the times accordingly, but it always uses 12h time, which means at a glance those of used to the 24h clock might occasionally get abit confused or miss read the times. It's not a huge problem, it's just really annoying when it happens.

Adding an option to pick which one you want displayed would be the best solution. I have no idea how easy/hard it would be for them to implement, though.
