The Clock Here is Wrong!

For some reason, when I click on the bar here that shows current computer time, GMT etc., it shows my computer's time as PM when it should be AM- the current time on my PC itself is AM, but it shows up here as PM? This makes it a little confusing if I'm trying to see what the current GMT is, since all other time zones shown are calibrated to the (incorrect) computer time here at the web site.

The page can be a little confusing.

The GMT time is presented as 24 hour clock (I think) . All other times are presented in 12 hour clock (despite the leading zero... that is just there to keep the formatting aligned

) So whilst it may display 12:29 pm central, GMT displays as 06:29 pm.

I have just changed my PC time to somewhere in the US'ville and it seems to be OK.

The times displayed are based on a javascript and are totally dependant on the local PC time being correct./assigned to the correct time zone.

Are you absolutely 100% prepared to swear on your mother's grave and forfeight all alcohol for 18 months that you are certain your PC time is correct and not 12 hours out

Yes I am 100% certain that my PC time reflects the actual time here in Denver, CO USA, even if it reads 12 hours off on the web site.
I use a 24 hour clock at my work, so I'm not unfamiliar with it. I also often listen to BBC world service, so I'm used to hearing the time read there.

Only other thing that I can think of would be that your PC time zone is set +6 instead of -6 or something like that.
