Allow sorting of posts by title (invaluable for web forum topic feeds)
I follow a lot of web forum topics via RSS, as it's so much easier than visiting each website every day to see what replies have been posted to each topic.
It's much easier to read these feeds if I can sort the posts in the same way that emails would show up in my inbox -- namely, the original topic post first, followed by replies. NetNewsWire v3 is the only app I have that currently allows me to do this (screenshot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1802478/nnw-forum-feeds.png), but I'd love to move away from it to a service like yours that would that…

Show both actual timestamp and "x hours ago" for each article
Right now, you have to hover over the "x hours ago" timestamp to see the actual time of the post. There is plenty of room to list both, so please do so. (GReader used to show both).

Allow nested folders
Google Reader never supported this, but many other RSS readers do. It would be great to be able to have nested folders for mass operations (mark all as read) and better organization of feeds.

Make a mobile view compatible with Opera Mini.
As Opera Mini doesn't support javascript properly, it's horrible to use The Old Reader on an older phone. It's not even possible to open a feed item.

Sort folders as GR did: By feed order by date, not all feeds collectively by date
Group each feed in a folder together in the order in which it is arranged. When changing the sort order by date, retain the feed order in the folder. This is how GR did it.
Currently, viewing the feed of a folder does not reflect the order of the folder; manually ordering the folder structure does not affect the feed order. This is not how GR did it.

Publicly share/export folders
I am a web developer that has been using Google Reader as an RSS feed aggregator, that then provides specific aggregated feeds to display on websites. To give an example, I have aggregated about 30 different feeds providing news about the media in Greece. I then take the single, aggregated folder from Google Reader, and using a script on my website, all of the articles from that folder are displayed, in a customized format that matches the design and layout of the site.
I'm not a professional, so some of the technical terminology and understanding may elude me, but through…

Links in Firefox open in Background tabs
When I control-click a link in a post it opens in a new tab, but it takes me to that tab. Then I have to make my way back to TOR. Instead, have the link open in a tab in the background. This happens in Chrome but not in FF for some reason.

Please unbold/grey/change color of headlines that have been opened and read.
Please differentiate between headlines that have been clicked on, and read, as opposed to those that aren't clicked on.
It seems the green tag (unread) disappears after the headline is loaded, but headlines should only be marked "read" after being clicked on.

make the scrollbars work better
When I drag the scroll bar handle all the way down....it stops at the bottom but there is plenty more to read further down. If I then use my mouse wheel to go further - the scroll bar handle pops up to the center AND so does the content I already looked at....so dragging the scroll bar all the way down again does not let me see more content.

Mark item as read when opening it via keyboard shortcut
If I open an item in a new tab/window, I don't want to also have to mark it as read. If I open it, it's obviously for reading. The keyboard shortcuts make it easy enough to mark something as unread if a user wants to open something without marking it as read, but the default should assume that "opening" == "reading".

Allow users to add new feeds directly to a folder rather than making them add each feed and then move it to a folder.

Make the Titles a different color than the article text
Just so it's easier to see where a post ends when you're scrolling past it. I believe the ones in Google Reader were blue. You could do green!

deduplicate posts across feeds
Sometimes you get the same post from different feeds - mainly because of planet * feed aggregators. It would be nice if such posts were only displayed once.
The comparison should probably be based only on the message content itself, as posts titles and other metadata may vary.
