Default Site Clock not Internally Consistent
The time/date indicated for things like uploads doesn't actually match the real-world time for some things. I have my time set to GMT-7, and the correct time appears at the bottom of the site (so for instance, as I post this it's just about 5:40pm), but for the daily statistics graphs and the posting date for uploads I notice it doesn't match up. I'm pretty sure it resets the statistics the way I assume is intended to happen at midnight at 3:00pm instead for some reason. Doesn't seem to impact the actual totals or anything, it just stands out from resetting at an odd time, and because I have a couple lots I'd specifically posted on certain dates that now don't show the correct upload dates anymore for some reason!

The reason this happens is because the site clock at the bottom of the page is changed to what you have specified in your profile, but on the server side when calculating the resets it uses the server time (which is GMT+1) because it's an automatic job.

Posting fate for uploads should be correct though and use the frontend time. Do you have an example where it is incorrect?

It may just be the difference between those two approaches then... an example might be my latest Hogwarts lot- if I look at the posting date on the page for the upload itself it shows the evening of May 2, 2024, but the indicated date from my Statistics page shows early on May 3, 2024 instead!

Lol and now the sorting seems to be based on the number day of the month, rather than the actual full date (so it's sorted based on upload on "1st of whatever, 2nd of whatever... 31st of whatever" if I filter by upload date!)
