[Bug] There seem to be issues with "Days Hours Minutes" playtime format

Hello there!
Was trying out this format because counting in days makes me rethink my life choices more, and I noticed a couple of things:

-> Higher play times are not showing the correct day count
Examples of this in my profile are Destiny 2 (Steam & PS4), Rocket League (Steam & PS4) and Destiny (PS4). These are my most played games with above 1100h each.

Some values from these bugged times in case it helps:
Destiny 2 (Steam) -> 2704.13h converts to 16h 7m lol
RL (Steam) -> 1709.08h converts to 15d 5h 4m
The next most played game I have is Idle slayer at around 500h and this one and the ones below are fine as far as saw.

-> When selected as Default playtime format, the setting gets reset after changing the Sort order on a profile
Going back to the Default sort order by re-selecting it doesn't re-apply it, refreshing the page does

This one may be intended, but just in case:
-> When selected as Default playtime format, the setting doesn't apply in pages other than a profile
(like stats to the side of a game's page)
 
I believe I've fixed it now for both the game and profile pages.

Actually since you fixed this so quick and while we're on the topic, I might as well follow up with an even more inconsequential thing:
-> Is the profile header play time supposed to be hours only or should it also follow the user preference?

Thanks for pointing it out - we decided to leave this as hours for now. The thinking was that not everyone will want the format to be changed in the header, and having a separate setting for only the header seems a bit much.

The main reason I added the format option as well, was to make the playtime next to game listings more readable - easier to read hours+minutes than hours with a decimal. However, that isn't as relevant with the header since it rounds the hours.

Might be open to adding the separate setting I suppose if a lot of users want it though.
 
Sounds good to me!
Yea that makes sense, having every single thing be its own setting might be a bit much lol
