Halls of Shrewd'm / Any Missing Board Requested Here
No. of Recommendations: 2
I wasn't sure where to post this but is there a way to see which boards have been active lately ? Or a way to sort boards based on date of last post?
I know in Favorites and Replies I can see my Favorites and which ones have been posted to recently but it would be nice to see what other boards have had activity w/o clicking a ton of times looking for active boards either under Companies or Investment Strategies, Investment Topics, etc.
Thanks
Rich

Any board that you want to track, just like at least one post and it will then show up under the "Favourites and Replies" menu. That page will show all of the new posts with a yellow stamp, as you observe.
However, if you have boards that you have moved out of your "Favourites and Replies" via the "Customise" link on that page, you can click "Customise" again just to temporary show all the boards so that you can see new posts also across boards that you have read a few posts at, or recommended any post.
Thirdly, for boards that you didn't visit at all, these will typically be boards with very few posts. For those boards, you can visit "All Boards", "New boards being explored". That will show posts, with the most recent posts listed first, across boards with 3 or fewer posts in the last month.

I appreciate all you did in setting these boards up but I do think this is a major flaw.
Sure I have a list of favorite boards and I can see latest activity.
However, someone could be posting interesting information on a stock under one of the "lettered" categories and I will never know unless I click on that letter and then on that stock which no one is going to do.
For example you have to do the following to see any activity:
1. Click on All Boards
2. Click on "I"
3. Click on "INTC"
Seems like there should be a way to see the latest, if any, activity on the "All Boards". I realize many of the boards have no activity but currently I have zero way of knowing if there is activity without doing the above for every ticker.

>Seems like there should be a way to see the latest, if any, activity on the "All Boards".
The latest activity of boards that you have already posted to, or read a few posts from, appear in your favorites (clicking 'Favorites & Replies' from main menu) and when there is a new post they are marked with a yellow star.
To see the latest posts from boards not commonly posted to, click 'New boards being explored'. If anyone presently posts to the Intel board, for example, the post will appear at the top of this list.
These two features combine to cover all posts far more closely than might first be imagined, and that is deliberate.
I am deliberately not having a general broadcast of every post on average board as I want to keep the noise low and not force the culture of one board in front of readers. If you really want to see all posts across all stocks, use the "New boards being explored link" - it is extremely unlikely that there is a board that this will miss, other than boards that you have already read from.
>but I do think this is a major flaw.
These features are not design flaws but design strengths. It is a little different, but I don't want to interfere with what has proven to work over decades, and having cultural distinction between the different boards is one of the reasons that the audience became established in the first place. The The "New boards being explored" is an excellent comprise, and amazingly close (combined with Favorites") in practice to seeing posts across all boards.
