I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. FInd out why the pull-down menu is corrupting the Home page?

    I appreciate that as a recent Old Reader convert I am liable to make many mistakes, but I notice that for me, using Google Chrome Beta as my browser under Windows 8-64bit, I am finding the pull down menu overlays and corrupts the text at the top right of the Home screen, and from then on. I am using the native theme.

  3. allow pasting OPML data into text area

    File upload is broken in some mobile browsers, like Google Chrome. As a mitigation, we could allow users to paste the OPML data into a text area as an alternative.

  5. "Scrolling through post marks it as read" setting per view type

    It looks like some users do not like "scrolling through post marks it as read" as a global setting and would prefer being able to configure this behavior separately per view type.

  6. Keyboard shortcut to open next folder with unread items

    Many people (including myself) navigates through folders and reads them. I really would like to see a keyboard shotcut that takes me to the next folder that contains unread items (like Shift + n, but skips read folders) and then automatically opens it (Shift + o). That would save me many key strokes.

  8. Requesting that all keyboard shortcuts be accessible on one side of the keyboard.

    I didn't realize that I used this on Google's reader, but all the shortcuts I use are on the right hand portion of the keyboard. Thus, you don't have to be perched over your keyboard when browsing the reader. Can I request that all shortcuts be executable with only one hand? Currently, I'm missing having the toggle-view shortcut, which is mapped to 'x' instead of Google's 'o'.

    Thanks for the awesome free web app!

  10. Sort in order that new feed items were discovered

    I'm a new Google Reader convert, and I'm experiencing a problem that I can put down only to the fact that The Old Reader is taking considerable time to find and catch up with my feeds.

    I had manually marked as read all of the many thousands of posts that were more than about two weeks old. However, over the next couple of days, I keep noticing new items appearing in my list that are more than two weeks old (and others that are less than two weeks as well, although it's hard to tell which of these are new…

  11. Show when a feed was last refreshed

    Some of my feeds are not geting updated (even after waiting for more than a day). It's nice to have the ability to manually refresh a feed, but I don't want to hit refresh on ALL my feeds.

    So, for each of my feeds I'd like to know when was th last refresh timestamp.

  12. Subscribe by clicking Chrome extension button.

    When a site has an rss feed, the extension button should show for example a plus, to let you know that the site you are on, has a feed that you can subscribe to.

    Then you should be able to right click the button and select subscribe directly.

  16. Easily subscribe to eBay Search feeds.

    You can easily subscribe to any eBay search by simply adding “&_rss=1” at the end of it. If you could add the option to do this automatically that would be handy!

  17. Custom pre-made feedlists

    You have a friend that doesn't use The Old Reader, but reads a lot of posts from a lot of blogs. You tell him to use The Old Reader, but he is a lazy person and isn't inclined to change his behaviour. You could use this feature to pre-build a feed for him, with the blogs you know he likes, and send a link to this custom feed to him.

    With that link he could experiment the feed-reading stuff and, if he likes, he could just register and register that feedlist for his account.

    Also, this could be used to…

  18. Allows feeds to be in multiple folders

    In Google Reader I had multiple overlapping categories, and feeds duplicated between categories. Unless I'm missing something, TOR restricts feeds to a single category.
