The forum should use 24-hour time

Would be better to allow profile-set time preferences, so that not all page histories appeared in PST and such.

I would just prefer that everything be UTC.

Don't you realize it? GMH is a time-traveler! The forum AI found out and tried to reveal it, and so he tries to hide it by using 24-hour time!

...I know it doesn't make sense. I'm tired.

If there really needs to be an addition to the times, it should be one of those "Time Zone" selectors, with a check-box for 24 hour time. Possibly one for Daylight Savings Time as well.

Doesn't seem to be that important, though.

We should just use beats! tongue

Do you highlight everything looking for secret messages?

I like that. The number of beats since the first post, which we will arbitrarily say was April 1, 2004.

To make it easy, we'll just call it one point five beats per second.

This is pretty nifty. Not exactly utilitarian, but nifty.

Edited posts still show the actual time, by the way.

...I think Fast Eddie epically won this thread.

So the tempo of the forum is 90 bpm?

This amuses me, but I think I'd rather have date and time back. That was actually useful, whereas this isn't really, however funny it is.

He might change it back.

Clicking on the heartbeat should display the time. If it worked that way, we could keep it.
