Something happened to our webserver's internal clock and it whizzed out of control to about February 2004 before we caught it and fixed it. A handful of posts got mis-dated, which was fixed quickly enough, but now we're finding that new posts aren't being flagged properly (no "new post" flags anymore). If you hit "mark all posts as read" then any new posts during the immediate session are flagged as usual, but if you timeout or login to the site again later - everything is back to unflagged. Looks to us like we've got a February date stuck in the database somewhere, but we're not sure where to look or how to fix it. Bottom line question: Is there a way to reset the whole forum to set all salient date fields to "now" without touching post dates or historical information?

You will just have to go through the database by hand and check every date.
