Now that my board is downloading newsgroup posts using the cron job you specified, I've noticed that the time listed for every post is the time when it was downloaded, not the time the post was made. It didn't do that when I initially ran gateway.php to get the first batch of messages, but only since I've had it running automatically. It's strange looking at the messages and having their time all end with 5! Any idea what's causing this?

It was programmed to do it that way. It does this because the date on posts are defined by the poster and their clocks are usually not in sync with everyone elses. What this does in the forums then is it causes some new posts to be inserted and appear before posts that were already there.
