I'm on military time here

and cant get off it. Everytime I go to switch the time, all it gives me are options for increasing or decreasing what I have, but it's all military (24 hour clock) time, and I hate it. Hate it. Hate it.

I like military time and keep my dual-setting watch on it all the time (has the added benefit of confusing people who sneek peeks). AM and PM are stupid concoctions when you think about it. It can lead to confusion (and mis-set alarm clocks) when one or the other isn't specified and the only reason to repeat the same cycle over again would be if we suddenly lost the ability to count past 12 which, as far as I know, hasn't happened.

OK, even allowing for FK's admiration for military time, I'm still on it, it still sucks, and I can't find away to get off it. All the stuff under "changing time settings" in my profile allows me is = and - "GMT" what ever that is, seemingly all military-style options all around the globe. How do I get off it and onto to normal AM,/PM time? Also while we're at it, I just got a new laptop, and Edgy's sig line (par ejemplar) reads as <font size="1" color="green">In the Pool, they told us the story</font> instead of actually looking, you know, green. How to correct that as well

I changed your time settings to what my time settings are. Did that help?

Your sig line still reads <font color="purple"><i>Hold on, good things never last Nothings in the past, it always seems to come again Again and again and again</font></i> instead of being purple. This one I think I can adjust myself--what do I adjust?

You had your html setting on no, I changed it to yes, so you should be good.
