Can your old creditors still make entries on your credit report after the bankruptcy has been discharged?

Yes, they can. The real question is, why would they want to? It costs creditors to place (and to update) information on the credit bureaus.
If their debt was discharged through your bankruptcy, the only entries they should be making are to "clean up" the account and mark it as "discharged" or "included in bankruptcy". All other negative information needs to be removed from the tradeline so that this no longer impacts your credit score. (You are already taking a huge hit to your score for the legal action)
If this has not happened, perhaps this particular creditor has not been notified that their account was discharged. Either you or your attorney needs to send the creditor a copy of your bankruptcy papers and request that they update the credit bureaus accordingly.
