Greasemonkey script: Gameday Thread Timezone Conversion

[Pseudo]

I wrote this Greasemonkey script:
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/60437

It will convert the start times for each map in a gameday thread into your local timezone.

The orange text is the text generated by the script.​

It also adds a "download timer" to the map download links in the thread. A user must wait thirty seconds between file downloads, so the script adds a countdown timer for this. File links are grayed out until they are able to be downloaded.

For those that don't know, Greasemonkey is a Firefox add-on that uses JavaScript to customize websites. It can be downloaded here. Chrome, Safari, and Opera have scripting capabilities as well but I have not tested the script in those browsers.

Very very useful. Especially since this forum seems to get my local time wrong all the time (well, daylight savings, atleast).

Oh and welcome back to the community Pseudo.

Well, I'm sure it could be handy if I had Firefox. I've never had any problems with the times on the forums though?

Wow thats awesome, definitely gonna try it out i haven't bothered with greasemonkey in a long time.

Is the rest of the forum set to that time? If you scroll to the bottom of the page it should say "All times are GMT __.", that's what the script uses to determine your timezone. You can change settings in your options.

This made me laugh very hard. What the fuck is this guy talking about?

Nice job, Works fine, and makes it easier for me as I'm usually confused about timezones

Also, It messed up on wednesday gameday thread. Not sure why, but here's a screenshot.

Yes, I noticed that bug as well.

The script has been updated to fix it.

The problem was an error in my regular expression that caused it to grab the start time as "1:00 AM" instead of "11:00 AM".

Thanks! This should really help organizing more official Gamedays.

Or as I've been asking, the organizers could just post a dang link to a time-zone site inside the post, but I suppose making everyone install a client script works too
