>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.
