Just as of the past day or two (I think) gmail switched over to displaying the times in 24 hour format.. I cant find a way to change back to 12 hour..

Anyone have some insite?

My gmail still shows 12 hour time formats.

Gmail stamps your messages with the date and time set in your operating system. If your messages are receiving inaccurate timestamps, you?ll need to change your operating system?s calendar properties.
Here?s how to do that in Windows:


Double-click the time in your taskbar.

Click the 'Time Zone' tab along the top of the dialogue box.

Verify that your time zone is selected. If the time zone in which you are located is not displayed, select your time zone from the drop-down menu.

Verify that the box beside 'Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes' is checked.

Click 'OK.'

Very odd. I use a 24-hour clock on my computer, but the Gmail messages I've sent and recieved today are all in the 12-hour format.

After playing a little more, it seems to be isolated to the standard or Javascript enhanced version. The HTML version reports the time correctly.

Any idea what could be causing the problem? I have also made absoultly sure my system clock is set to 12 hour format.

How did you do it?
I've been searching all over the place to get rid of the poxy AM/PM
Where I live (Planet Earth) the day has 24 hours, so does my time format in my OS.

Please help me change this and get rid of the confusing irrelevant AM/PM
