FanFicFare uses the date times as given by the sites. Most sites only give dates without times, so TZ differences between site and user are less noticeable. XenForo sites (SB) do give time, so it's also recorded.

I could potentially add a feature for offsetting times, but Python does not do a good job of handling timezones without adding extra libraries. I'll think about it, but unless this is a problem for lots of people, it's not very likely.

It gives the data in regards to UTC-5 (I think), while I want it in accordance to my timezone, UTC+12 (not including an extra +1 for current DST).
Is there a way to have the times given for my clock instead of the website's?
Note: FFnet does not seem to have this problem. I don't know about other sites unfortunately, since FFnet and SB are the only sites I download from with any regularity.
