The time on the top left corner is in a different format from that in the star timelock section. Please make them the same. Think just ditch the am and pm. 24 hour clock is much easier to read, especially with people in different time zones.

I personally find the 24 hour clock harder to read and think it would be ugly there. This sounds like a good use for a GM script.

I always have to count up what time it is in the afternoons on a 24 hour clock.

Make them both the same then? I get a headache trying to work out different times and then compare to the time in my timezone...

Being int he Army for so the 4 years I was there acclimated me to the 24 hour clock I guess because I actually prefer it over the am/pm style.

PRO: 24 hour clock

NOOB: am/pm

As I have never seen the star timelock dealeo take what I have to say with a grain of salt, but it seems like having two different time formats isn't very efficient, can someone screenshot a star page with some timelocks and post it up for me?

Thanks, I actually have more of a problem converting american date format than am/pm to 24 hour time, but I guess that's just me.

Looks like it would be better to change the time lock date to the format used on the header, seems like that would be much easier to read and you'd be able to tell at a glance how long till you can use that star again.

American date format? Tuesday, September 6, 2011 Seems VERY easy to "convert"

Ahm yeah, was talking about on the time lock page, how the date goes yyyy/mm/dd, I'm used to dd/mm/yyyy, I've been converting 24hr to am/pm for my whole life (dad was in the army) but reversing that date format doesn't just happen in my head.

Why do Americans put the date as mm/dd/yyyy? Seems counter intuitive to me, I'd much rather know the date than the month.

Americans, lead astray by the brits, seem to get every measurement/system wrong. No one uses Fahrenheit. The MM/DD/YYYY format is just retarded (and a hell for programmers, it's especially fun when you dont know what format you're dealing with, and you can't tell from the day what is what: 08/02/2011. February or August? Take a pick). Gallons, inches, ounces. It just goes on. I guess we'll call it 'quirky' and think it's cute ;)

Well when you're raised in a country that uses MM/DD/YYYY, you don't get confused with which month it is. I lived in States for about 20 years, and in a few days I will have 1 year here in Mexico, and they use DD/MM/YYYY, and it is very confusing to me, I mess up a lot at school, so I always write it MM/DD/YYYY. Well I don't even write 2011, just, 11^^

Imperial units aren't so bad tho, but the date format is just really retarded, like Jans said...

In the Army here in the States we used yyyy/mm/dd or dd/mm/yyyy and I never had any issues and I grew up with mm/dd/yyyy.

Stop complaining. We're Americans and HAVE to do EVERYTHING different than every other country in this world. So take what you have learned your entire life, reverse it, and you can be American too. Problem solved.

Haha, that'd work :)

(i wasnt serious btw - although the DD/MM vs MM/DD thing does piss me off because it has bitten me in the ass more than a couple of times in my job)
