Barry,
Unfortunately the Google groups spam checker leaves a bit to be desired. If
seems to mark some folks replies as spam for no apparent (to us) reason.
When a post is marked as spam the group managers/owners don't get notified
there are posts awaiting checking/release unless we happen to view the
group in a browser and notice the pending posts. And to cap it all off when
we do release a post that was marked as spam it is often shown as deleted
(well that is what happens to me 90% of the time, Tom seems to have more
success). Enough Google complaining.
Changing the locale may have given you the 24 hour time format you seek but
I think you will find that changing locales to somewhere where you are not
may solve one problem but create a number of others (not necessarily WeeWX
related). The Belchertown skin appears to use a number of locale based
formats (as does WeeWX) to give usable date-time formats for most users
around the world. When you want something different a half way decent skin
will give you the ability to alter the formats in weewx.conf or skin.conf
which is exactly what the Belchertown skin does. It might take a bit of
playing around but I would try and persist with your correct locale and
tweak the date and time formats in the Belchertown skin.conf to get what
you want.
