There is something to be aware of when using add_date, if you import anything to an existing product via .csv the add_date will be changed to the current date... at least it did the last time we did it.

This may have changed on more recent versions of x-cart than the 4.2.3 version we are currently using, I don't know. Just something to be aware of or you may get unexpected results... like everything being marked as "new".
