Well, just for the "fun" of it, I did a complete re-install of Linux and Weewx (at the moment the computer is only being used to play with Weewx). >From a clean install I am still not able to change to the 24hr format for Weewx. Not that it should matter, but Linux is set to the 24hr format. The 4 [[[[ that surround TimeFormats has come up in the clean install, so I guess it was nothing I did!! Immediately before [[[[TimeFormats]]]] in the weewx.conf is [[[[Groups]]]] and any changes I make there are actioned. It's not the end of the world that the time is in the 12 hr format, it's now become a battle of (old) man against machine! If anyone has the 24hr time format running ok could they post the relevant parts of their config file??
