Move the comment button
Right now, the comment button is too close to "unshare", and it's possible to misclick on unshare by mistake.
If you could put "comment" somewhere else, maybe on the same level, to the right of unshare, it would be nice.

Bing alerts
More of an issue I haven't been able to find a solution for. It seems that when I try to grab an RSS feed from Bing News "Subscribe by RSS" and add that one subscription to The Old Reader "Add a Subscription", The Old Reader won't accept the subscription - I can't add to my subscription list at all. I'm not sure if this is a problem other folks have run into, but would love any insight/solutions.

The sort order date for a single feed or single group
For example, the feed from the forum I want to read from the old to the new record, something to keep the discussion within the band.
But newsfeed about space I want to read the newest entries first, and move on to the older.
Now sort mode is set for all subscriptions and not only one.3 votes -
keyboard shortcuts after share
After sharing a post, I press 'n' my usual shortcut to move to the next post, but it starts typing n in the shared comment box. The keyboard shortcut should have priority. Those that want to comment, should click on the comment box.

Allow iframes in feed items
Slashdot feed has iframes for top 5 comments, which allows to read/moderate them without opening the main site.
Google reader displays this iframe; Old Reader does not.

Ability to turn off any social features!
I just want to read my news in a quick way with a simple interface, no social anything which disturbs the clean interface. no recommendations, trends, ...
So if i could turn all these features off under settings, that would be great.
Ability to email an article to someone else is enough.

Ye Olde Reader sister site
Make a sister site, yeoldereader.com, which is exactly this site except that "The Old Reader" is replaced by "Ye Olde Reader" everywhere.

Create a way to manage folders.
When I am on a feed, and I want to remove it from a folder, there isn't a way to do this. Or, if I want to create 5 new folders, there isn't a way to just create them. The dragging and dropping method isn't working for me, the way the how to says it should. Have a manage folders page, where we can manage all the items and folders, like the favorites page of our browsers.

A "trash can" for unsubscribed feeds and folders
I've apparently deleted (or unsubscribed) inadvertently from a whole folder - EEEK! I'd love to have a way to roll back!

very small mobile web enhancements
I love the fact that The Old Reader has a mobile web interface. For me this is THE reason to switch to The Old Reader. With a few minor tweaks it could be great !
1) add the button to mark all as read at the bottom under the feeds. Afterall you browse all the way down while reading them and now you have to scroll back up to press "mark as read".
2) Would be great if on mobile you could also still work with the categories and they would be collapsed by default. This way you don't have…16 votes -

Mobile Site Static Menu or 'Back to Top'
I've been using The Old Reader for a good two weeks now and truly appreciate the service. Great minimalist UI and nice mobile adaptation. When I load a feed that is large or has a lot of unread items, scrolling can be difficult. Maybe either a small static menu button or a scroll to top button would be helpful?

Fixed sidebar width
The sidebar, with the list of subscriptions, should remain at a fixed width (as in google reader), and not change width when the browser changes width.
If you have your browser windows wide, the sidebar gets too wide, and it's just wasted space, that could be used for the posts instead.

Google reader + IFTTT
This was a big deal for a lot of users. I want to automate an action off the back of a The Old Reader RSS update (or even tag update). Will this ever be possible or will I need another alternative to Google reader?

Great reader! One suggestion
Great reader! One suggestion I'd like to make is to provide a link in the listing that allows you to go directly to the source article without having to open the summary? Most times I can simply read the headline and would like to go directly to the source without having to open the summary and then click on the provided link to go there.
