XtReMaTriX - The 2 pages seemed to be loading at about the same speed for me, and both had 19 queries. The main change in the new version is the way forum permisions are done and people with larger forums (over 100,000 posts) are the ones that would notice the biggest difference. The pages do seem to be loading a
little slow though, so if you'd like to put your server in debug mode, do an explain=1 on the page, and post the results here I'll be glad to take a look and see if anything can be done to speed it up.
Kyle_TX - So far the new version is pretty much the same as the old one, except it will use less queries (thanks to vB3 and some of it's features

) and less templates since I'll be taking full advantage of the new "if conditions". I'm not sure how many more options I will add to the first vB3 version... It's going to be quite a bit of work for me to upgrade my entire site to work with vB3, so the first version will most likely be the same as the current one for vB2 until I have time to add new features.
Lacrosse Boy - I know a few people will be waiting on this before they can upgrade their boards (I'm in the same boat, but with a lot more than an index page to recode

) so I'm planning on asking one of the mods if it would be ok to email or PM the script to others per request once it's finished.
