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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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…

  5. 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.

  9. up arrow behaviour

    Strange behaviour of up and down arrow makes mixed arrow/scrollwheel navigation a bit confusing.

    The up arrow seems to not move to the "next unopened item" in the list, but to the "first item in the list that is visible in the current viewable area".

    Let's say I am scrolling a long list of items: some are visible on screen, some titles are up (outside of the viewable list), some are down: if I open a post, its title wil be aligned to the top of viewable area.
    If then I scroll the page a bit up, revealing headlines of…

  10. Maintain the location in the list the selected feeds after all the items have been read

    Use shift+n a couple times to select a feed.
    Use shift+o to open the feed.
    Use n until you have read all the items.
    Now press shift+n again

    EXPECTED
    The sibling feed of the feed you just finished reading is selected. That is the feed that would be below the feed you just read, is selected.

    RESULTS
    The feed at the top of the list is selected.

    NOTES
    This is the Google reader behavior

  11. Fix "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" (again)

    I appreciate that the "Clicking on a post scrolls to it" feature was improved, but the behavior is still not what I expect (i.e.: not the way Google Reader works, anyway).

    Right now, the implementation seems to be "if a post's title is lower than the top of the reading pane and the post is clicked, scroll to it". This is a problem because I can be reading a post that is in the middle of the reading pane, select text, and boom it slides up, which is clearly unwanted. Also, it only works one way: when clicking on the…

  13. On mobile web interface, scroll to top of opened item

    When I click to open a new item on the mobile safari version of the old reader, it closes the previously open item, collapsing it, and opens the new item, expanding it. Where the item's first line of text shows up, however, is completely random. When you open an article, the page should go directly to the top of that new article. The current behavior is maddening.

  14. Emulate Google Reader "compact view"

    Google reader had a function call "compact view" and it compresses the headlines into a more e-mail like format.

  16. Have a "Next New" bookmarklet

    I use Google Reader's "Next" button, that you can find under the goodies section. Once in my bookmark bar, I can click it to take me to the latest updates- on the actual blog or site. I love giving the sites hits and just visiting them.

  17. Mark as all as read by date option

    In Google reader, until it's unfortunate demise, you can "mark all as read" but choose "items older than x." When sometimes you come online after days away from your feeds (vacation, a great weekend, long work binges, etc.) that is an incredibly useful feature.

  19. Show subscriber count and posts per week

    One nice feature of Google Reader is you can tell how popular a feed is (or whether you've clicked the wrong one by accident) based on subscriber count. Also, if you show posts per week, I know I won't subscribe to one that inundates me with articles. Thanks.
