Description

I use LiveSplit when recording timelapses for an event in a F2P game. These generally take a couple of days to record, but it's very useful for me to show progress in the event.

I'm in the middle of recording one right now, and for the first time ever, my recording has gone for more than 100 hours. The timer, however, only shows the last two digits of the hour. My timer format settings are "1" and ".23", but I tried changing it and none of the options seems to show the third digit of the hours.

I can just make a note in the video for this time, but if future events go this long, it'd be nice to not have to do that...
