After moving the forum, the servertime was way off, and I THINK due to that, all the "mark as read" etc are not working correctly due to incorrect timestamps, so no users can see properly which are new posts or not.
Is there a way to reset that timestamp? (I think that was the thing that causes this problem?)
I ran the consistency checker and the mysql optimizer, but it doesnt seem to work.
I tried searching, but I cant find it.

Time being wrong usually is a problem on the server because the server's time is done. You can fix that but running ntp command and synchronizing server time from some reliable time server.

Sorry, I did not explain correctly:
After moving the forum to a new server, the servers internal hardware clock was wrong, so we corrected it by your above suggested method. However, since the forum had been running a little while with the wrong servertime, the forums timestamps for last read / unread got messed up when we corrected the serverstamp. so for one hour, noone could see if they had read posts, nor mark then as read, nor did new posts show up as unread for that period of time.
So, what if the servertime would have been years off, how would I have corrected the issue with the timestamps in the forum then? Where are they stored, in which table, what would be the easiest way?

The timestamps for messages are stored inside msg table, in the post_stamp field. You'd need to update the table and then run the consistency checker.
