If the sql cmd didnt help, then its possibly a server issue.

Are any other dates in the forum post times etc, messed up as well?

sorted, thanks for all the help.

for anyone reading this in future if you have upgraded and were usin a portal and renamed your index.php to something else you must update this with the new index.php from the latest version of vb. renamed my index.php to forum.php to accomodate vbadvanced, and in doing so when overwritting the old templates with the new ones it missed out the forum.php as it is not a standard file of vbulletin.

anyhoo thanks to all who helped, much appreciated!!
