Actually I took latest thread and etc into account.
Even thought it is not one query it is actually 2-3 queries. And if you want to exclude attachments and etc then it is one query..

Anyways I guess 2-3 more queries does not hurt that much.
I have seem several poorly coded mods for index which makes more than 58 queries. Now that is too much.

Well, anyway, back on topic - awesome looking portal, really slick

For your own setup, having lots of queries may not be too bad - if the generation time is acceptable, that is.
From a plugin sense, it's "bad" because you don't know what setup the user has - potentially, a remote MySQL server giving high latency queries, which could be devastating to performance, for example.

Looks great techu,  
It's modern without looking like all the other "modern" sites.
Good one.

Very nice portal modification, Techu

Well, it seems that MyBB will support portal as index "officially"?

I'm somewhat doubting they'll go beyond the file verification thing
