Time correction

Allows to adjust imageboard time to your local time zone. These settings are located in the Posts tab.

Correct time in posts* checkbox

Enables/disables time correction. Changes are applied after page refresh.

Time difference field

Contains a difference in hours between time of posts on an imageboard and your local time. Examples:

  • +2 — adds two hours to time of posts.
  • -1 — subtracts one hour from time of posts.

Find pattern field

Contains an expression to detect a time pattern on an imageboard. Elements of a pattern:

  • s — second (one digit);
  • i — minute (one digit);
  • h — hour (one digit);
  • d — day (one digit);
  • w — day of week (string);
  • n — month (one digit);
  • m — month (string);
  • y — year (one digit);
  • - — any symbol;
  • + — any symbol except digits;
  • ? — previous char may be absent.

Find pattern examples:

  • If posts have date and time in Fri 31 May 2013 11:22:26 format, then the corresponding expression will be w+dd+m+yyyy+hh+ii+ss to match day of week space 2 digits for date space month name space 4 digits for year space 2 digits for hours colon 2 digits for minutes colon 2 digits for seconds pattern.

  • 05/31/13(Fri)03:41:35 corresponds to nn+dd+yy+w+hh+ii+ss. If seconds are omitted on some, but not all, boards, then the expression must be nn+dd+yy+w+hh+ii+?s?s?.

  • 2013-05-31 06:15:27 corresponds to yyyy+nn+dd+hh+ii+ss. If some boards also have microseconds value (which is not needed), e.g. 2013-05-31 06:15:27.295345, the expression must be adjusted as follows: yyyy+nn+dd+hh+ii+ss+?-?-?-?-?-?-?.

Examples for some imageboards:

  • 0chan.hkw+yyyy+m+dd+hh+ii+ss
  • iichan.hk, 2ch.hkw+dd+m+yyyy+hh+ii+ss
  • dobrochan.rudd+m+?+?+?+?+?+yyyy++w++hh+ii-?s?s?
  • 410chan.orgdd+nn+yyyy++w++hh+ii+ss
  • 4chan.orgnn+dd+yy+w+hh+ii-?s?s?
  • 4chon.netnn+dd+yy++w++hh+ii+ss
  • krautchan.netyyyy+nn+dd+hh+ii+ss+--?-?-?-?-?

Replace pattern field

This field is optional. It defines your preferred format for displaying date and time. May contain any symbols and pattern's elements, which will be replaced by corresponding values:

  • _s — seconds;
  • _i — minutes;
  • _h — hour;
  • _d — day;
  • _w — day of week;
  • _n — month (number);
  • _m — month (abbreviated string);
  • _M — month (full string);
  • _y — year (2 digits);
  • _Y — year (4 digits);
  • _o — time difference.

Replace pattern examples:

  • _w _d _M _Y _h:_i:_s will display date and time as Mon 08 July 2013 09:52:50

  • _Y-_n-_d _h:_i:_s will display date and time as 2013-07-08 09:52:50

  • _n/_d/_y(_w)_h:_i:_s will display date and time as 07/08/13(Mon)09:52:50

Examples of date and time display for some imageboards:

  • 0chan.hk_w _Y _m _d _h:_i:_s
  • 2ch.hk_w _d _m _Y _h:_i:_s
  • iichan.hk_w _d _M _Y _h:_i:_s
  • dobrochan.ru_d _M _Y (_w) _h:_i:_s
  • 410chan.org_d._n._Y (_w) _h:_i:_s
  • 4chan.org_n/_d/_y(_w)_h:_i:_s
  • 4chon.net_n/_d/_y (_w) _h:_i:_s
  • krautchan.net_Y-_n-_d _h:_i:_s
