I've tried the new version but all the posts have the date/time of when they were inserted into the database rather than the correct date when they were posted.

That is how it's supposed to work. Otherwise, they won't be threaded correctly when local posts are in the same thread as usenet posts.

If you want it the old way then you will have to go back to the old method of editing the vB code in newreply.php, newthread.php, postings.php and functions.php. Which would you prefer?

The time of posting is not very reliable anyway. It's not even the NNTP time. It's based on the users PC from which the post was made. With this method, the post times are actually going to be more consistent. Plus. if you're pulling news 2 or three times an hour, there won't be much discrepency between the original post (except when the original post was wrong).
