I did what the above thread mentioned and it did work after I replaced script in functions.php. Then I updated counters in control panel the forums that were empty it cleared out the last username and date/time of the last post.
The problem came with the usenet groups even though they all had tons of post's in them the last post column on all of them also got cleared out. The other regular forums that did have post's in them did not. So if even though this does fix a bug with vb it screws with the usenet hack a little. I ran the pl file again and any newsgroups that had new posts they were installed in the last post column so this is just a small problem. Just wanted everyone that is using the usenet to know that until this is somehow fixed everytime you update counters if you make the change mentioned in the above thread that this will happen.
