This won't be hard at all.
In newreply.php
Find:
Code:
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,lastpost='".time()."',lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");
Replace With:
Code:
$threadstarttime=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT dateline FROM thread WHERE threadid='$threadid'");
$DB_site->query("UPDATE forum SET replycount=replycount+1,lastpost=$threadstarttime,lastposter='".addslashes($postusername)."' WHERE forumid IN ($foruminfo[parentlist])");
