Rocket.chat: Add personal preference for 12/24h time
My Rocket.Chat version: 0.26.0
From what I gather (#1959, #1960) the time format depends on the moment.js locale, which depends on the Rocket.Chat UI language. The thing is, I'd like to use English but also 24h format since I live in Europe, one way to offer that would be to expose the en-* locales from moment.js so I can just use en-gb to get 24h times. Another option might be to have a dedicated setting for the time formatting.

Have you seen this PR https://github.com/RocketChat/Rocket.Chat/pull/2852 ?

I did not, thanks! That looks like it solves my issue. Though if that's only an admin-level setting, you still might want to consider adding it as a user option or adding the missing locales, for servers with an international userbase.

Ohai,
I think #2852 is not really a solution here. We're running Rocket.Chat for a worldwide org, and the users tend to prefer different 12/24h clock settings (while still using English instead of $Local_Lang).
I think ultimately time-preferences should not be coupled to language preferences. It might be a good default, but the user should be able to override this.

Actually I agree with @evgeni, it's just less of an issue for me because I don't have international users. But the point is valid, so I reopened the issue.

A +1 on this. 12/24h time can often be a personal preference thing as opposed to a locale-dependent one.

+1 from me. I am English (UK) but want 24 hour clock.

We are accepting PRs to turn this into a personal setting.

While you guys are at it, I am sure it would be greatly appreciated if a user could customize the order of entities of messages.
Right now its:
[avatar] [name] [time] [msg]
It would be great if users could change the arrangement.
I personally prefer
[time] [avatar] [name] [msg]
I am sure other people would like to do
[time] [name] [msg]

Where is this feature now, can't see it anywhere under the "My Account -> Preferences"?
