Prevent date change

    Is there any way to prevent users altering the date given to a post when submitted? I’m using WordPress with students and need to have a system in which posts are dated genuinely. At the moment they can change the date of the post on the right of the page on which they compose.

    Thanks

    I’ve tried taking out the edit timestamp function from admin-functions.php but it didn’t work (I’m guessing I shouldn’t have edited that file!)

    There must be a way of removing the edit timestamp feature… anyone got any ideas?

    I removed the lines:

    <?php if ( current_user_can('edit_posts') ) : ?>
    <fieldset class="dbx-box">
    <h3 class="dbx-handle"><?php _e('Post Timestamp'); ?>:</h3>
    <div class="dbx-content"><?php touch_time(($action == 'edit')); ?></div>
    </fieldset>
    <?php endif; ?>

    from edit-form-advanced.php in /wp-admin and it seems to have worked – the edit timestamp feature is gone.
