My own observations, different results in calendar and search

Hi there, I enjoy the website but here is something weird. See below

Platform (Android, iOS, Website):
website

Browser, if a website issue (Firefox, Chrome, etc) :
firefox

Description of problem the calendar feature and the search my own gives different results…

Step 1: click on https://www.inaturalist.org/calendar/amzamz/2020/3/28

Step 2: compare to https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?on=2020-03-28&place_id=any&subview=grid&user_id=amzamz&verifiable=any

remarkably, there is a difference between the search result and the calendar result. Am I doing something wrong there? Is it a bug?

Thanks for helping / fixing it. Best wishes

amz

They’re using different date/time fields to calculate which day these were observed on, so the observations that show after 11:00 PM in Explore aren’t being included in the calendar – the calendar thinks they were observed the next day.

I don’t know whether the developers would consider this a bug or not. It’s also the case that the older inaturalist.org/observations/username page uses different date/time fields from Explore.
