You just need to click the time button to choose the time control you want and make sure the rated toggle is on

Even better is 15|10
Thanks to the increment you can always win a won position or draw a drawn position.
The time control is available, but in my experience, no one will be paired with you. (Likewise, I really enjoy 10+5 on [the other site] but if I choose that time control here, I never get paired.)
No 30min is not available....u will need to wait for hrs to get matched
It never takes me that long to get matched in a 30 min game. It takes longer than other time controls because there are less people that play 30 min, but at most for me it takes 5 minutes.
It's never taken me more than a few seconds, not even once.

Lead by example please...
(Your games are only 10|0 on this site...)

You should be able to set a timing, though getting paired with another suitable player may not be the quickest - unpopular controls may take quite a bit of time.

It depends on your rating. Usually the higher up your rating goes the less people there are near your rating, so it takes longer to get a match.

That makes sense. I started out playing 30/0 but I never actually needed that much time and often enough I'd have an opponent stall once they started losing, so I switched to 10/0 to limit that.
