implement basic syntax highlighting for pre, code and/or samp tags
I subscribe to a growing number of programming-related blogs, and posts with larger pieces of code become much less comfortable to read than on the origin website. I think (even very basic) syntax highlighting would remedy this.

add an option to display similar feeds
In Google reader, next to the feed title, there the option arrow related to this feed. Among those options, one I find really usefull displays the similar feeds (similar or related content) and subscribe to this feed.
Such an option would be nice in The Old Reader

Sort (and sync) by date
I've just imported from Reader, but I'm having to comb through 2000+ updates from 4 years ago. Limiting the period in which to sync would be helpful.

Полоса прокрутки
У вас полоса прокрутки не в самом краю находится. Из-за этого, когда по привычке кидаешь мышку в правый край до упора, полоса прокрутки остаётся в миллиметре слева, и по ней нужно специально целится. А поскольку она ещё и тоненькая, то целится становится не так и просто

Do not strip background colours of feeds
For example for the RSS feed of wikipedia's recent changes, the changes to each wiki article are highlighted through the use of colours.
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&feed=atomHowever, background colors are stripped to conform with the theme of the old reader, but making it difficult to see what has actually changed.
Please add the setting to disable this.

List view in mobile - open posts at top of post
On my iPhone when viewing in list view, it seems to open the post sometimes at the bottom of the post, sometimes the middle, rarely (but not never) the top. Consistency at the top would be better

a tab for seeing the original post
This helps a lot for feeds that don't include the full-text in the feed. Or don't post things like user comments in the feed. Instead of clicking on the post to open it in a new window/tab it'd be nice if once can just click on tab under the post to switch from "feed view" to "original view".

"No post below this line..." not appearing in feed panel on mobile device at end of list
On my Nexus 7, using Android Firefox, the message:
"No posts below this line. Probably you have read them all."
does not appear when I have scrolled to the end of the feed list.
This makes it difficult for me to judge whether I have really read all the posts in the feed or I should wait for TheOldReader to fetch more feed items.

Multiple sharing channels
GR featured channels/folders/tags you could make public via RSS.
E.g. you could have channels named "science news" and "health" which you would be able to syndicate further to sites like FB.
(It would be AWESOME to have it here. This feature was the only thing keeping me on GR.)

Aphabetical Sorting Within A Folder
Please allow users to sort their subscription (not only folders) in alphabetical order.
Example: Folder News has 100 feeds. If subscription #1 posts an article starting with "Nasa discovers ..." at 1:03 PM, the subscription # 2 posts same article at 3:45 PM, we dont want to read the same article twice.
Alphabetical sorting will save us time to not read same thing twice.
Thanks in advance

tidy display of posts with pictures
Posts with pictures at the top align the first line of the text to the right of the image and then there's a big gap before the text continues below the image. It would be awesome if you could prevent this from happening somehow.

Make sure you have a business model which is profitable and if that includes advertising, so be it.
None of us want a repeat of what we have gone through with the Google Reader fiasco this past week. Google failed to capitalize on their system by not bothering to directly generate revenue from what they were doing. I am not convinced you can exist without a profitable business model so if that means you need to incorporate advertising on your pages, please do so. Advertising could certainly and easily be tuned to the type of feeds we are using so I see the potential as enormous. Given your now massive user base, the potential for income for you…

Sort subscriptions by number of unread
Allow sorting of subscriptions by the number of unread items. You could sort either least -> most or most -> least. This way, you could hit all the "small" volume subscriptions first and get to the fuller ones later (or vice-versa)

Bug: Up/Down buttons don't work when page is scrolled slightly
To reproduce:
- Go to All Items.
- Click an item in the middle of the list.
- Scroll up a bit.
- Click the Up arrow button in the top right area.
Expected: to move to the article directly above, i.e. if I was on the 7th item it would then open #6.
Actual: the item at the top of the list is opened instead.

Always visible "Mark All As Read" button
It's clumsy to scroll to All Items in order to reveal the Mark All As Read button. Maybe it's just me, but I 'empty' OldReader when I'm finished with a session.

Close current item when clicking its title (and toggle visibility with <ENTER>)
When I read posts (in Google Reader) I sometimes "zoom" out by closing the one post I'm currently on. I'd like to have this feature in theoldreader as well. Thanks!
