How to change the time display format in the forum?

I'm not sure where to post this question I had, so sorry if this is in the wrong place!

I wanted to see if I could change the format that the forum displays my time to me in - I hate that 24 hour clock! It's way too much trouble for me to figure out.

But when I got to that part of my profile, it shows this in that blank where it asks what format to display time in:

d.m.Y, H:i

Now what's that supposed to mean?
And what are my other options?

I can figure out the d,m, and y, means day, month, and year, but H;i?? I don't understand that.

And if I wanted it in some other format, how should I write that in there? Are the other options somewhere that I can just choose one from, instead of having to write it out myself?

Thanks for your help!

Hey, I posted this a long time ago, and I guess it got lost among the other posts, 'cause it never got any replies...
but I just wanted to let you know that I got it all fixed now!

I don't know how the 24hour clock got changed; I dont' remember doing anything about that, so I assume it must have been changed administratively to having the default be the regular clock, not the 24 hour clock. Which makes a lot more sense... what are we, sailors here? NOPE!
wink

And then so it was only the date that I was still having a oroblem with after that, because it was showing up the way I think it's written in the UK, with the day and then the month, all backwards, in other words! jk hehee

That bugged me, but I never did anything about it, til I came across this old post of mine, in which I actually found the answer to that too! In your profile, it says what format you want the date and time to be in; I'd forgotten this was in there. Mine said "d.m.y" and so all I had to do was change it to "m.d.y", and now it's all the way it should be!

Just thought I'd post that in case anyone else's was confusing them too!

thanks!
