If it does not connect ensure you have the correct port set.
 
If no port is set HexChat defaults to ''6667'' for non-ssl and ''6697'' for ssl.


If port 6697 is the SSL port, you need to specify the "+" before the port.
The format in the network list for ports is ''address''/''port''


This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the "+"

Troubleshooting

If it does not connect ensure you have the correct port set.

If no port is set HexChat defaults to 6667 for non-ssl and 6697 for ssl.

The format in the network list for ports is address/port

This is a failed attempt due to not specifying the correct port. 

 Connecting to my.bouncer.net (6697)
 Connected. Now logging in...
 Disconnected (Connection reset by peer)

Timestamps

HexChat 2.9.6+ Supports the znc.in/server-time[-iso] capability, this means that all the timestamps will be the correct ones given by the server.

Scripts

Some events printed by the playback still won't look quite correct, to help this some scripts have been written to do extra formatting.
