    Default 24 hour format vs 12 hour

    I didn't know what to put in the title, but just today I realised I could adjust LHC's time to my own. I've been struggling with that for years and just today figured that out. Heh.
    Anyway, I was wondering if there was also an option to have time show as 13h, 18h, 21.34, etc. instead of 1pm, 6pm, 9.34pm, etc.?
    I know I can just convert that in my mind, but it would make it easier for me, as I'm used to the 24 hour format, use that in all my devices, and in general, I just feel it's more clear as to what time in the day it is exactly.

    I don't see a setting for that. I wonder if there are browser plugins that could do that for everything you view.

    It doesn't actually bother me. My medication alarms are in the US format as well. You just substract 12H from it (from the 24H format), and hey presto.

    19H = 7H (PM)
    13H = 1H (PM)
    etc. etc.

    neko_kawaii hmm interesting, I didn't even think of that, though it's not that necessary, I was just curious since I sometimes look at times of posts here and such. Plus, I already had a plugin giving me some trouble with my antivirus a while ago,so I ended up disabling all but one. Thanks for checking, though.

    lapushka I'm not asking if it bothers you or not. I'm asking if there is such an option. I obviously know to tell what time it is in any format.

    If it ever shows up as an option, I'll switch to it too. I've been using 24h pretty much exclusively for the last 20 years and I really prefer it for the lack of ambiguity.
