      Hi all! Many of you have likely noticed that the timestamp format has changed and now shows an actual date and time rather than "2 hours ago", "1 day ago", etc.

      If you're an English speaker, I've discovered that the timestamp depends on your language setting!

      It was stuck on 24hr for me, and I couldn't understand how to change it, but the language setting was it apparently (thanks @Jb-boin )! So, if you were set to the English UK/Canada setting, your timestamps will all be 24hr time, but setting it to US English fixes this and puts it back to 12hr time if anybody else is having the same issue! 🙂

            @urambo-tauro Watch it there. I'd argue it's 'improved' not 'simplified.'

              @WhoIsTheLeader Eh, I speak it and teach it and I'd argue it is simplified 😛

                @rallydarkstrike How about modernized? Compared to 'modernised.'

                  As someone who was in the military, I much prefer 24 hour time.

                    @snuze I'd just be happy if people would stop writing "EST" all summer. Asking them to understand 24 hour clocks is, sadly, never going to happen.

                    On walkabout. Back soonish.

                        The clocks at work are all on military time. I may or may not count fingers to do the conversion at times.

                            I can deal with 24hr time (my brother prefers it, so uses it for everything), but I grew up with 12hr time, so that is my preference 🙂

                                @RallyDarkstrike Thank you - I’m going to change my setting now to 24 hour from this am/pm nonsense.

                                  @jminer Haha, go for it! You just need to set it to UK / Canadian English, it seems!

                                  I'll likely add this to the User Guide later!
