Is there any simple way I can insert older news into the Company News? We have a legacy News Release system that i want to replace with the SupportSuite news system. In order to do this, i need to place all the old news items from our legacy system into the SupportSuite database.

The problem with this is, i have to generate a php timestamp that is correct for the news release date, and then manually update the swnews.dateline field for that news article. THEN I have to change the swnews.newsid to be lower number then current news (so it shows up in order on the news page). Finially i have to change swnewsdata.newsid to reflect the change i made to swnews.newsid.

Short of the long is, I would really like to be able to edit the post date (in a simpler way than the way described above) of a news item, along with it being changed in the main newspage display order.

Right now there is no direct import function but you can change the sorting field in Admin CP > Settings > News if I remember, preventing you from updating the newsid everytime you make a change.
