If not a normal user, at least an admin. Can this be done on any specific forum platforms/ CMSes? Perhaps vBulletin can? Others?

Are there any forum platforms that allow you to modify the post date?

Do you mean changing it using the platform UI or going to the DB directly?
I used Drupal for another site of mine and it allows you to update the "published" date using the "edit" UI/view.
For most platforms, post dates are stored in the DB. If you can find the DB table/field, you can modify it.

I didn't know about it being in the DB too.
Whatever is easier to parse with regexp. With a db, I'm assuming you can find it in mysql. I'm not sure if i'd know how to find it, though, as I'm no programmer.
With a user interface, all I'd have to do is set the regex to parse the forms where the date is input. That I can do.
You used Drupal, but you must have used an add-on to make the forum, right? Drupal AFAIK is just a CMS, not a forum thingie?

Drupal has a forum module that sites on top of the CMS. It's not as powerful as vBulletin, but it does the job. I'm not currently using the forum module but I would imagine it to allow you to change the post date, just like the CMS.

I'm playing around at home with a vbulletin.
Is there any platform that allows forum posts to be scheduled, like in blogger or wordpress blogs?

I'm not too sure. I know ppl do it with WP, but I've never seen it on vB or Drupal. But I'm sure there is a module out there that can do that.
