WU Status Page datetimes

I was trying to access the Project details page https://apps.foldingathome.org/project.py?p=14182 and got a 502 (another bug), so navigated up to https://apps.foldingathome.org and saw the WU status option, so went to a recent WU:

https://apps.foldingathome.org/wu#proje ... 13&gen=192

First impressions: Cool, I can check on WUs if I'm unsure if they've been credited. Only problem, is that most of the times on the page don't make sense:

The header says: Tue, 03 Mar 2020 15:52:01 GMT - which is correct, and actually reading my computer clock (checked by changing my clock)

Assigned says 2020-03-03 10:43:28, which matches my log: 10:43:27:WU00:FS01:Requesting new work unit for slot 01: READY gpu:0:TU116 [GeForce GTX 1660] from 140.163.4.241

Returned says 2020-03-03 14:04:18, whereas the log says: 13:27:51:WU00:FS01:Server responded WORK_ACK (400)

Credited says 2020-03-03 19:40:01, which matches the text at the bottom of the page:

Code: Select all

Hi TML_ALL_1Fb7XpTZN9gefApL87L51CY34aT7DZKCUu (team 224497), Your WU (P11739 R34 C13 G192) was added to the stats database on Tue, 03 Mar 2020 19:40:01 GMT for 81547.4 points of credit.
Which is still 4 hours in the future...

Days says 0.373, which is 8 hours 57 minutes, so the difference between the 'assigned' and completely wrong 'credited' times and not the expected datediff(days, assigned, returned)

I'm not sure what is causing these discrepancies, nor do they seem to impact the calculated points or those credited, but if someone's gone to the effort to produce and display the results, they ought to be correct.

Also, I'm on GMT, as are the logs and the times claimed on the page, so ought to be the 'simple' case. No idea if they get more or less messed up when mixed time zones are used.

There are some time zone magic going on with this project. One clock shows your local time, another shows Stanford Uni local Time, another shows location where specific lab is based time :) I do remember the conversation regarding this, but unfortunately I do not remember the specifics of the conversation :)
