If the database code worked for you people please help out others by posting here any other cleanup measures you had to take. It's good seeing people willing to help test out these things.

The code did work; I also have been playing with this through the week in different variations. The radadmin error is due to a basic platinum install using protector, if the Platinum version (PNP_7.6.0+2) is the Plus 2 variation = patch two then the user has Sentinel installed per instruction from Technocrat
So in short here is a "PARTIAL" report
Note ** if you are running Platinum 7.6.0 +2
Remove from ChatServs Code
ALTER TABLE nuke_authors DROP radminblocker;
Step One
BACK UP - BACK UP - BACK UP
Step Two
Run ChatServs Code (Note Dependant on Platinum Version as noted)
Step Three
Copy PHP-Nuke 7.6 Core or Full to your existing forum over write all
Step Four
Copy ChatServ PHP-Nuke 7.6 Patch 3 to your existing Forum
Step Six
Make note of return errors or output if any, if all goes well you will have a running PHP-Nuke 7.6 Patched 3
This is how you get to the Main functioning PHP 7.6, in admin you will have to remove Center Blocks Module as well as Calendar, Sentinel and a few others to clean up the ugly Icons.
I am preparing that part of it today and will post the Second portion of the Down Grade.
This is not formalized each forum or website will be different. Remember all Add-Ons from any Base Platinum or Platinum Plus 2 will be lost and you will need to clean these up manually. Hopefully when I am done this will leave minimul impact to your users...
Another note
Themes
You may have to manually edit ion MyPhpAdmin the themes selection for each user. I am no coder so maybe someone here can create a sql scripts to do this and default all users to DeepBlue until you get your themes up and going again...
remember what you will get is a base PHP-Nuke 7.6 Patched 3 system back. you will have to remod your site as needed.
Thanks again ChatServ

I am assuming yes

I agree with most of what you have posted RoadLessTraveled, but so far the ported version of the calendar I have of Nucalendar seems to be working very well. I can make categories, post events view, print, etc, even the previous categories I had created made the transfer, could be luck though.
It allows you to post news on your front page using your forums instead of the default news module, you can then place images, colored text, flash... etc,. It came with PNP in the Supplementary folder under Features.
ReThinker
Thanks I appreciate your helping me get that. I am a bit anal I am told
No I dot have this installed, the only Mods I have are the Meta Tags, and Sentinal as required for the PHP-Nuke Platinum 7.6 +2
Update on my progress and I will detail hopefully Everything on Monday.
1: I have upgraded the Test Site to PHP-Nuke 7.8 Patch by Chatserv all is good
2: Detailing "Meticulously" the removal of the old Platinum SQL Statements(See Note)
3: Detailing "Meticulously" The removal of Blocks, Modules and Misc Files (Belonging to Platinum)
4: Giving ChatServ new Code (Wish full) that will automate this whole process with instructions.
NOTE
I am no code writer, I break code for a living, I can however automate tasks such as the clean up of these fields and statements. I am going to try and create a script that will be generic to my installation with instructions for others if they want to edit it for their use.
Hopefully this will work, otherwise it will be good methodical clean up laid out step by step.
I just hope this helps someone else as well, one thing I hate is having to do things ad hock, and I hate more being forced to do this especially when product that had so much potential like platinum was simply scrapped.
Update
Wont have it today My wife says no PC you Paint
I have successfully converted my Platinum 7.6.0 + 2 Forum to PHP-Nuke 7.6.0 Patch 3
I have not converted the original forum yet, I am still looking at mods and Themes
As soon as I get ChatServ to look over the Package i sent him, I will post the procdures
Congrats RoadLessTraveled!
Thank you for your kind words!
I too have been trying merge my forum tables from PNP to Nuke, it has been a learning process. I think I need to remove FNA from PNP and *start the process over* I just can't quite get it right yet. A fresh start is probably in order so I can try the conversion without FNA.
