I thought I was the only one seeing this in the 7.5.X and also was looking at the beta version and I was totally confused with this as well. Perhaps some serious thinking and consideration needs to be placed in the time coding.
JAISP, what you were looking at within the 760 code, were lines from 759 that were commented out while new lines were being written. Those commented-out lines even had developer notes of why they were commented out, and what they were replaced with.
Even though 7.6.0 will be the converting to the UTC standard we should also still have some consideration for the server local time.
The Server's time is pretty meaningless to the end user.
The end user should only ever be presented with two time choices:
• A correct timezone for Unregistered Guests / and what your New Users are defaulted to.
• Registered Members can choose their own local timezone.
