Which postdate do you want to show?
If it's the first you can create a plugin to do it.
Hook location:Showthread_complete
Title:thread start date
Code
Code:
$thread[startdate] = vbdate("Y-m-d", $thread["dateline"]);
$thread[startdate] (or {vb:raw thread.startdate} for vb4) will then be available in showthread.
Schema also accepts datetime format so you could use Y-m-dTH:i:sP in the plugin instead of Y-m-d for greater accuracy.
