Hi Milos, impressive close up :-)
....I've to admit I didn't check the new website's moonphase calculator before.
The old website calculator was abit problematic as well - at certain times even completely wrong.
I'm not sure where's the problem, perhaps they tried to make it more user friendly in some way , but I'm only guessing here. I'll check what may be the reason behind it.
I'm by far not informed about astronomy, but I'd say full moon is only a "moment" (I guess mathematically speaking infinetely short moment :-) ).
So making it two full days of course isn't astronomically correct anyway.
Also it may not be considered the best method trying to set it by visual control - specifically at full moon. It may be much easier to set it to (as precise as possible) new moon and then advance as many increments as required from there (that's a ususally given indication in astronomic calendars, xx days form new moon).
Here's a nice website if you'd like some more precise information on that matter:
Moon phase website
Hope that helps
Best regards
Suitbert
