We’ve tried to make the “All Posts” page fairly visible (it appears on the homepage sidebar, and can be found in the drop-down sidebar from any post on the Forum).
Do you have any suggestions for what might have made it more visible to you? You strike me as a careful reader, and someone who spends a lot of time viewing EA content, so if you hadn’t noticed this page, I’d guess that many other readers aren’t seeing it either.
I think in this case the fault lies entirely with me, given the number of different ways one can see a list of all the most recent posts.
(My original bullet point also mentioned that sorting by recency seemed like a preferable way to display posts anyway, and for this reason I concluded that this should be the default display. But in his reply Oli mentioned some important drawbacks that I had overlooked, so I no longer believe this.)
Pablo already replied, but FWIW I had the same irritation (and similarly had all posts pointed out to me by someone else after complaining to them about it). I think in my case the original assumption was that ‘latest posts’ meant what it sounds like, and on discovering that it wasn’t I (lazily) assumed there wasn’t a way to get what I wanted.
I don’t have a constructive suggestion for a better name though.

It’s also linked from the frontpage with the “Advanced Sorting/Filtering” link.
