    How about to made/convert 12h am/pm system for site,and add an option in setting ?
    At least part of cabal use 24h system,so sometime its difficult to understand which time exactly is...
    Very useful at least for events part.
    How hard it is to add ? Didnt check how it work,but I think it must be not so difficult,just need time...

    When an event is set here, the system displays it in the local Time zone. Local time is set in your personal settings under your account here.
    To test this, create a test event and see what time it displays (remember to delete it after test).

    I find the times confusing too. Whenever I discuss Fight Club, I try to say it as GMT/UTC as well as my local time.
    For example: Next fight club is 8pm gmt, 3pm est(gmt-5)

    I hope that helps.

    Adding the option is definitely something we can look at 😃

    Until then, for 24hr clock users, just add 12 if it's PM 😉 As FatherDuffy said, the site is set up to recognise your local timezone and automatically show the event time as it will be for you.

    I know,it convert to my local time as I set in site options... but..we never use 12h system,so its very confusing me. Like 12pm how much time ? 00 by 24h system ?
    4pm=16 ? 1am=01 ?

    Almost, 12am is 00:00 (so midnight) and 12pm is 12:00 (noon). Ante Meridiem and Post Meridiem are before the middle of the day and after the middle of the day 🤓

    Should be possible to add an option for this. My main concern at the moment is that I am starting to lose track of all the requests and bugs. It would be nice to get some help to gather everything somewhere in a single post/thread. I'm hoping to take a day soon to get some of the work done and could need some help with what to prioritize.

    I could start a bug report/optimization request thread and pin it globally. I'll do my best to scrape the forums and discord posts for the recent requests and bug reports, but I guarantee I'll miss a few. It'll help if the people who noticed the bugs, or requested the updates also re-post their request/report in the thread, so Dominy can use it as a work list.

    Thank you. I think the most important thing to get things done is having you guys request stuff you actually need. I've been trying to pick up the project again several times in the last few months but get stuck wondering what is important. I've mainly just done maintenance, backups and stuff like that.

    Because the first 12 on the 24hr clock is 00:00, when you add 12 to that to get pm you get 12pm. It's just tricky because the 12hr version doesn't have a zero, so it can throw so people off. You could say there is no 12am, it's 0am, but that'd make clock faces a bit too crowded!
